Books on Paul vs Peter's ministries in Acts

mike

Anyone know any good books that focuses Paul & (or VERSUS) Peter's ministries in the book of Acts?

Or how to find them specifically in Logos? (sorry I'm not really good with those "strings")

TIA

Here are a couple that are simple. They are separate books on each Apostle, though:

On Paul:

2. https://www.logos.com/product/32212/face2face-series-upgrade

On Peter

Craig Keener's commentary on Acts has some good information. Volume 1 chapter 7 is all about Acts and Paul while Chapter 16 has a section on Peter-Paul parallels.

Any books that does comparative analysis on their sermons, ministry approach (Peter to the Jews & Paul to the Gentiles), and gospel presentations... (or charts maybe?)

Thanks guys...

Edit: maybe something like this (or better) http://loveintruth.com/amf-docs/gpia-peter.htm

also something like this https://repositorio.ucp.pt/bitstream/10400.14/15062/1/Binder1.pdf

But both analysis (Peter vs Paul) in one long chapter.

This might help: https://www.logos.com/product/56533/mobile-ed-nt217-key-events-and-speeches-in-acts

Or buy just the audio, which is cheaper: https://www.logos.com/product/152391/mobile-ed-nt217-key-events-and-speeches-in-acts

Also, run a search on “speeches in Acts” and most commentaries will have a brief section on them.

Need it for homework

Keep Smiling 4 Jesus :)

Or how to find them specifically in Logos? (sorry I'm not really good with those "strings")

Search suggestion for articles about Peter and Paul that mention Acts early in article:

{[field heading,largetext] Paul NEAR Peter) BEFORE 33 WORDS Acts

Keep Smiling [:)]

I found this one in my library. Going by the Table of Contents it looks like it may provide some useful information. EDIT - Especially Chapters 6 and 7

Thanks guys & girl for the inputs.

I also just bought a book from Amazon that's not available in Logos.

Peter and Paul in Acts: A Comparison of Their Ministries: A Study in New Testament Apostolic Ministry

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BOG1DJQ/ref=docs-os-doi_0

I hope it'll show up in Logos someday.
