The Apostles and Their Times

This book is about the lives and sacrifices of the first Christians, whose task was to spread the Gospel to the ends of the earth.

Relying on ancient documents — as well as the latest archeological findings and scientific research — acclaimed author Mike Aquilina takes you on a journey through the Apostolic Age, bringing to life the dusty streets and crowded marketplaces through which Mary and the Apostles journeyed as they built a Church that lasts even to our day.

You will discover the beliefs of the early Christians, what they taught about the Eucharist and the divinity of Christ, how their Church services resembled today's Mass, and how Rome became the spiritual center of Christianity.

When you read these pages, you'll come to see that despite the best efforts of their enemies, the blood of the Apostles did not snuff out the Faith; contrarily, it brought forth great saints whose holy deeds and brave examples gave the besieged Church a vigor that lasts even unto 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.
