either that Peter cannot have been the author, or that he must have long outlived the Neronian

Of Weizsaecker’s Das Apostolische Zeitalter, which is chiefly devoted to Paul, a second edition
has appeared in 1892, slightly revised and provided with an alphabetical index (770 pp.). It is
the best critical history of the Apostolic age from the school of Dr. Baur, whom Dr. Weizsaecker
succeeded as professor of Church history in Tuebingen, but gives no references to literature
and other opinions.

Society in the first century than is usually supposed.
