The Acts of Peter and Andrew is a short work of
heroic romance, a work of entertainment and literature not particularly interested in espousing doctrine or theology
.
The text consists of a series of tales of
Peter is, and Peter literally putting a camel through the eye of a needle, turning the traditional metaphor ("it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of the needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven") on its head. The text appears to be a sequel to the Acts of Andrew and Matthias, as it seems to continue where the previous story left off, with the two leaving the city of man-eaters.[1]
