About Dr. Marcus Peter
Dr. Marcus Peter spent many years as a militant atheist before encountering a life-changing conversion experience in Jesus Christ. From there, he was with the Assemblies of God community as a praise leader and itinerant preacher for two years; espousing an anti-Catholic view of the faith.
Through a consistent and prayerful study of Scripture, the fathers, theology, philosophy, and the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, he found his way back to the Church and returned home in full communion in 2010. He has given over ten thousand talks across the world on the Faith.
Dr. Peter has an undergraduate degree in Communications with minors in Marketing and Management. He studied philosophy and Alphonsian Spirituality in seminary, and received a master’s degree in systematic theology from Ave Maria University in 2018. Most recently, he holds a doctorate in biblical studies from Pontifex University and is constantly working on studying Scripture deeper.
As Director of Theology for Ave Maria Radio and the Kresta Institute, Dr. Peter’s goal in the apostolate is to bring the saving Gospel of Jesus Christ and His Catholic Church to the ends of the earth. He is the host of the daily international radio program, Ave Maria in the Afternoon, produced by EWTN and Ave Maria Radio, which focuses on applying Scripture to the world’s culture. Through hosting this flagship program, he aids in setting the Theological voice and spiritual direction of the apostolate, continuing the vision of his mentor, Al Kresta. He also hosts Unveiling the Covenants, a radio/tv program produced by Ave Maria Radio that explores the covenantal love of God the Father in Scripture.
