the apostle, saint

Mariamne, a young girl from Magdala who knows little of the world, grows up to learn how to escape to the spirit world and control her fate before becoming the close follower of Jesus Christ known as Mary Magdalene.

Draws from New Testament scriptures to examine the life of Jesus's disciple Simon Peter, tracing his evolution from impetuous fisherman to leader of the early Christian church.

While the primary concern of this book is to portray the life of the Apostle, providing a context for understanding his teaching, Paul's theology cannot be separated from his work. The author offers an examination of the main themes in Pauline thought, set in their historical background and illustrated from his letters. Among the subjects discussed are the Mosaic Law, the flesh and the spirit, baptism, the Lord's Supper, and the life to come.

Early Christianity faced powerful obstacles. The might of the Roman Empire and the power-politics of ancient Jerusalem laid a heavy burden on those who believed Jesus was "the Messiah." But this new faith would not die. In a brief span of time, the fledgling religion would transcend its origins in the provinces of Rome and absorb the capital of the empire itself. With the words of Paul and other ancient writers, interviews with contemporary scholars and dramatic reenactments, Peter and Paul and the Christian Revolution explores how two men weathered crippling disagreements and political persecution to lead one of history's most astonishing religious movements.

Relates events from the life of a girl who would grow up to be a close follower of Jesus Christ, interspersed with stories of the Apostle Matthew. Includes author's note distinguishing what Scripture says of Mary Magdalene from later traditions.

A historical novel of St. Paul, the Jewish Roman citizen who transformed the history of the Western world, follows the scholar, adventurer, prosecutor for the Jewish high court, orator, and writer who brought Christianity to a pagan world.

Provides an overview of the life, beliefs, and message of the apostle Paul.

Examines the lives of Simon Peter, the Apostle Paul, and Mary Magdalene, exploring what the New Testament reveals about each of them and their relationship with Jesus and discussing how they have been portrayed throughout history.
