Scholarship, Not Speculation

Every response follows a strict six-part schema. If the evidence is insufficient, Corpus Theologia says so.

Question
"Was the Apostle Peter married?"
Primary Textual Evidence
1 Corinthians 9:5 (KJV)
"Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?"
Linguistic Note
Cephas is the Aramaic equivalent of Peter (cf. Mark 3:16). Paul's rhetorical argument assumes Peter had a wife — it names him specifically among those who exercised the right to travel with one.

Built for Serious Research

📜

Citation First

Every assertion is backed by a primary source. Corpus Theologia will not make a claim it cannot cite. If the evidence is insufficient, it says so explicitly.

🔍

Semantic Retrieval

Queries are expanded using KJV-era terminology before searching — "love" becomes "charity/agapē", "Holy Spirit" becomes "Holy Ghost" — so the right verses surface.

🏛️

Scholarly Schema

Every response follows a six-part structure: question, textual evidence, linguistic data, scholarly positions, sources, and consensus indicator.

⚖️

No Opinion

Corpus Theologia presents what the texts say and what scholars argue. It does not offer devotional interpretation or take theological positions.

📚

Growing Corpus

All included texts are fully indexed. Patristic texts, Greek lexicons, and major commentaries are being added continuously.

🎯

Verse Precision

Every verse is stored with exact book, chapter, and verse metadata. Citations are never inferred — they come directly from the source record.
