Record summary
The Apocalypse of Peter presents a revelation of resurrection, judgment, punishments, rewards, and eschatological order. It is among the earliest Christian apocalyptic texts and influenced later descriptions of hell and paradise, although its canonical status varied among communities. The work is pertinent to comparison with apocalyptic journeys because it organizes inaccessible spaces through divine revelation and moral exempla rather than ordinary travel. Its textual history is fragmentary and multilingual, with major differences between Greek, Ethiopic, and other witnesses. It should be approached as apocryphal literature, not as a recorded paranormal encounter.
