	Apocalypse of Peter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The recovered Apocalypse of Peter or Revelation of Peter is extant in two translations of a lost original, one Greek, one Ethiopic, which diverge considerably.
		The Apocalypse of Peter is framed as a vision first of heaven, and then of hell, granted to Peter, the favourite figure of the Orthodox church (as opposed to James the Just, favourite of the Jewish Christians).
		The Apocalypse of Peter was eventually not accepted into the Christian canon and thus remains today among the New Testament apocrypha, though references to it attest to its once in wide circulation.

		The Apocalypse of Peter is best known for its lurid descriptions of the punishments of hell.
		In contrast to the Revelation of John which displays the final struggle and triumph of Jesus Christ, its interest no longer lies on the person of the Redeemer, but on the situation in the after-life, on the description of different classes of sinner, on the punishment of the evil and the salvation of the righteous.
