Apostle, or, Bones that shine like fire : travels among the tombs of the twelve
Bissell, Tom, 1974-2017
Book
Peter, Matthew, Thomas, John - who were these men and what was their relationship to Jesus? Tom Bissell gives us rich and deeply informed answers to those ancient questions. 'Apostle' is a brilliant and exhaustive synthesis of travel writing, centuries of biblical history, and a deep lifelong relationship with Christianity. Bissell explores not just who these renowned and pious men were (and weren't), but how their identities have taken shape over two millennia.
