Primacy of Peter
The primacy of Peter, also known as Petrine primacy (from the Latin: Petrus, lit. 'Peter'), is the position of preeminence that is attributed to Peter among the Twelve Apostles of Christianity. == Primacy of Peter among the Apostles == The Evangelical Dictionary of Theology illustrates the leading role that Peter played among the Apostles, speaking up on matters that concern them all, being called by Jesus by a name linking him with the rock on which Jesus would build his church, being charged with pastoring the flock of Christ, and taking the leading role in the initial church.
