La figura de San Pedro Pascual es bastante controvertida por la cantidad de vacío que se cierne tanto sobre su figura como, de igual manera, sobre su obra. Durante mucho tiempo se le consideró tanto el autor de La disputa del obispo de Jaén contra los Judíos como de la Impugnación de la escuela de Mahoma, de igual forma se le atribuía la llamada Biblia Parva que es un compendio tanto de su obra doctrinal como teológica. Es más, la oscuridad que se cierne sobre este personaje es tal que incluso se pone en duda, incluso, si existió verdaderamente. Aunque, y sobre todo debido a que contamos con documentos pontificios que despejan las dudas sobre su existencia, esta cuestión ha quedado más despejada. Existió un obispo Pedro ocupando la sede de Jaén, de eso no cabe duda ¿quién era dicho personaje?, ¿fue el Pedro Pascual que conocemos hoy en día? Respecto a esto, en el siglo XVII, un tal obispo Pedro, que murió mártir, y un tal Pedro de Valencia que funda un convento Mercedario en Toledo, quedan asociados y confundidos para la posteridad, con esto se crea una controversia aún, si cabe, todavía mayor.
The figure of San Pedro Pascual is quite controversial due to the amount of emptiness that hangs over both, his figure and, in the same way, over his work. For a long time he was considered the author of both, the dispute between the Bishop of Jaen and the Jews, and the Impugnation of the school of Mohammed. In the same way, the so-called Parva Bible was attributed to him, which is a compendium of both, his doctrinal work as theological. What’s more, the darkness that hangs over this character is such that it is even questioned, even if he truly existed. Although, and above all, because we have pontifical documents that clear up doubts about his existence, this question has been cleared up. That there was the bishop Pedro occupying the headquarters of Jaén, there is no doubt about that. Who was this character? Was he the Pedro Pascual that we know today? Regarding this, in the 17th century, a certain Bishop Pedro, who died a martyr, and a certain Pedro de Valencia who founded a Mercedarian convent in Toledo, were associated and confused for posterity, with this still creating a controversy, if possible, still greater.
