Craig A. Evans argues that the Gospel of Peter was written in the 2nd century CE to counter anti-Christian polemics of that time (such as the ones found in Celsus's The True Word). [ 11 ] Later Western references, which condemn the work, such as Jerome and the Decretum Gelasianum , traditionally connected to Pope Gelasius I , are apparently ...
