Here
is an unflinching look at the lives and sacrifices of those first
Christians who were given the task of spreading the Gospel to the
ends of the earth.
Relying
on the ancient documents, as well as latest archaeological findings
and scientific research, acclaimed author Mike Aquilina takes you on
a journey through the Apostolic Age, bringing to life the ancient
streets and crowded marketplaces through which Mary and the Apostles
journeyed as they built a Church that lasts even to our day.
You'll
also discover the beliefs of the early Christians, what they taught
about the Eucharist and the Divinity of Christ, how their Church
services resemble today's Mass, and how Rome became the spiritual
center for Christianity.
Read
these pages, and you'll come to see that despite the best efforts of
their enemies, the blood of the Apostles did not snuff out the Faith
but brought forth great saints whose holy deeds and brave examples
gave the besieged Church a vigor that lasts even to today.
The
Apostles and Their Times will give you confidence that the
Church is indeed Christ acting in the world, and that no matter how
ruthless her opponents, she will endure to the end of time.
