This book provides the history of Christianity, and explains how the current divisions in the faith occurred.

"Explores the mysterious and often paradoxical lives and legacies of the Twelve Apostles."--Dust jacket.

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.

Imprisoned, John, the last living disciple of Jesus' twelve, remains full of humor, strong in spirit and obstinately spry.

The untold stories of the 12 Apostles.

Follow these two very different yet highly influential men over three world-changing decades.
