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.

Written with warmth, humour, and a rare acumen, <i> Apostle</i> 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 werent), but how their identities have taken shape over two millennia.

Bissell, in his search for this elusive set of truths, has traveled the world, visiting holy sites from Rome and Jerusalem to Turkey, India, and Kyrgyzstan, and he captures vividly the rich diversity of Christianitys global reach.<i> Apostle</i> is an unusual, erudite, and hilarious book, an intoxicating combination of religious, intellectual, and personal adventure.
