Apostle: Travels Among the Tombs of the Twelve

Apostle: Travels Among the Tombs of the Twelve

The story of Twelve Apostles is the story of early Christianity: its competing versions of Jesusâ€™s ministry, its countless schisms, and its ultimate evolution from an obscure Jewish sect to the global faith we know today in all its forms and permutations. In his quest to understand the underpinnings of the worldâ€™s largest religion, Tom Bissell embarks on a years-long pilgrimage to the apostlesâ€™ supposed tombs, traveling from Jerusalem and Rome to Turkey, Greece, Spain, France, India, and Kyrgyzstan. Along the way, Bissell uncovers the mysterious and often paradoxical lives of these twelve men and how their identities have taken shape over the course of two millennia.
Â
Written with empathy and a rare acumenâ€”and often extremely funnyâ€”Apostle is an intellectual, spiritual, and personal adventure fit for believers, scholars, and wanderers alike.
