Andrew Before Peter

Several years ago, I wrote a post responding to the popular Roman Catholic claim that Peter is always mentioned first in lists of the apostles. Something that I didn't mention there is that Papias lists several of the apostles in the early second century, and he places Andrew before Peter (in Eusebius, Church History, 3:39:4).

    Have you done a reply to Dave Armstrong's reply? I enjoy your writing Jason. I've learned a lot here on Triablogue.

      Is Dave's "rebuttal" really worth responding to? He will just take up all your time. I cannot even see what his link is.

      It's on Dave's blog from a couple of days ago. He immediately labels Jason as an "Anti-Catholic Protestant polemicist". It's funny how Jason never describes himself in that way. Dave's ad hominem attack right away makes the article uninteresting. So, I totally understand why Jason wouldn't respond if he chose not to.

      Thanks, zipper!

      I have to be highly selective in what I do and don't reply to, given how often I get responses from people, other work I'm involved with, and other factors. I'm not planning to respond to Dave's article at this point.

    I read Dave's rebuttal, it was not serious. He definitely has an ax to grind with the language he used.
