In his thought-provoking book, George E. Demacopoulos combines two unfashionable areas of research-papal history and Foucauldian discourse analysis-and demonstrates how the latter can inform the former to good effect... Scholars will find much to chew on in this valuable monograph. -American Historical Review Demacopoulos's meticulous study with helpful appendices should be read carefully by everyone, especially by those who think that they already know well enough the history of the early papacy. -Tarmo Toom, Journal of Theological Studies The Invention of Peter makes a valuable contribution to two fields that have not yet much affected each other: intellectual history of the papacy and late antique cultural studies. It encourages fresh, innovative scrutiny of a subject too important to languish. -Kevin Uhalde, Ohio University
