According to the New Testament, it is Peter who takes charge of the movement after the death of Jesus. But how could a man who had previously been painted as an impetuous and confused character fill the shoes of such a charismatic leader? And is there any evidence that Peter was eventually martyred in Rome as the first pope of the Roman Catholic church?
