"We are travellers…not yet in our native land" – St. Augustine
A while back at an Eastern Orthodox event I had mentioned in passing at least one Church Father asserted that the “Cephas” mentioned in Galatians wasn’t the Apostle Peter. In the link below, Dr. Barber explains why he thinks that the “Cephas” of Galatians and the Apostle Peter are the same person:

There are some posts to which I regularly refer/hyperlink during apologetic discussions. Many of these kinds of posts are now found in this blog’s sidebar.
I link to such posts because it saves me from repeatedly writing the same explanation, and it also helps limit the highjacking of the discussion thread with side issues. If someone wants to dispute the particular assertion then they have an entire blog post in which to do it where I make my case.
