By foot, on horseback, and on frail craft tossed in stormy seas, they preach and teach their way across much of the known world, winning converts and establishing churches in Palestine, Crete, Cyprus, Malta, Phoenicia, the lands that are now Turkey, and even in Rome itself, the pagan capital of the anti-Christian Empire. Along the way, the apostles heal the sick, cast out devils, and work other miracles. They face down mobs, evade murder plots, and defend themselves in courts in city after city. All this and more is told in The First Christians, the thrilling -- and true -- saga of the lives and works of the first apostles.
