Question

Why was Peter reading from the Bible so important? Novel number the stars

Answer 1

The Nazis treat the Jews as the ultimate Other, so it's important that the psalm that Peter reads is one from the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament), a text read by both Jews and Christians. If Peter had read a passage from the New Testament, it would have emphasized the differences between Christians and Jews.
