- W2020123004 abstract "The Acts of Peter and the Apostles (Acts Pet. 12 Apost.) is the first tractate in Codex VI from Nag Hammadi. The issues of its date and provenance have yet to be settled, but a second or third century date in Syria seems likely.' Its original title is unknown, since the first four lines on page one, which would have contained the incipit, are too fragmentary to allow for a reliable reconstruction.2 The title customarily used to refer to this text was added by a scribe at the end in subscript fashion. Its secondary character is suggested in the tension created by its use of the stereotypical Twelve apostles, while the text itself involves only eleven disciples (9.20-22).3 The theological character of the Acts Pet. 12 Apost. has been a matter of dispute. On the one hand, its presence in the Nag Hammadi collection has suggested to some that this text, if not clearly Gnostic, was certainly intended to be read from a Gnostic point of view.4 But more recent work on the Nag Hammadi Library as a whole has shown that its unifying character is not provided by Gnosticism, as was thought initially, but the theoretical underpinning of ascetic practice;5 thus, one can no longer simply assume that all of the Nag Hammadi tractates are Gnostic. The Acts Pet. 12 Apost. contains nothing that could be identified specifically as Gnostic,6 but it does contain material that would be of interest to those engaged in the practice of asceticism (cf. 5.19-6.8; 7.23-8.6). This feature could quite readily account for its presence in the Nag Hammadi collection. However, the ascetic sections are by no means the focus of this text, and to characterize it as ascetic really brings us no closer to an adequate reading of the text than does the Gnostic hypothesis. The present essay attempts to arrive at a reading of the Acts Pet. 12 Apost. which, on the one hand, gives close attention to the often puzzling details in its narrative, and, on the other hand, considers the over-all structure of the text and the story it presents in its present form." @default.
