| Summary | "St. Peter, His Name and His Office, as Set Forth in Holy Scripture" by T. W. Allies is a theological treatise written in the mid-19th century. The work seeks to explore and substantiate the apostolic primacy of St. Peter as portrayed in scripture, addressing the significance of his role as the foundation of the Church in the Christian faith. Allies draws from scriptural texts and historical interpretations to articulate the authority and responsibilities bestowed upon Peter. The opening of the work presents the author's intention and background, revealing that the book is influenced by Father Passaglia's commentary on St. Peter's prerogatives. Allies discusses the importance of emphasizing St. Peter's unique position and defines his name's significance, referring to him as the "Rock" of the Church. The beginning sets the stage for a detailed exploration of how Peter's roles and titles reflect a continuous spiritual authority that extends to his successors, emphasizing the need for visible leadership within the Church.
