Independent intensities, 0–5 — what the work is made of, not how good it is.
One of Meyer's last Bible-character studies, published by Morgan and Scott in London in 1919 and by Fleming H. Revell in New York in 1920. It follows Peter from his call by the lake through his denial and restoration to his leadership of the early church, in the same devotional manner as the earlier Old Testament Heroes volumes.
