People of the New Testament Book II presents nine apostles: Philip, Bartholomew, James the Less, Thomas, Judas Iscariot, Matthew, Judas Thaddeus, Simon, and Matthias, followed by Paul and several disciples connected with him.
Descriptions of apostolic journeys following the Passion are given here also, especially in the case of Thomas’s journeys to the East. The second part, entitled Lazarus and His Friends (The Secret Disciples), covers Lazarus (including his later life in France), the close friends Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea, Simeon of the Temple and his sons, Simon of Bethany, John Mark, and Amandor (son of Veroncia), among others.
