The Twelve Apostles

A series on the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ — who they were, what they did, and how the earliest sources remember them.

Jesus chose twelve ordinary men — fishermen, tax collectors, zealots — and entrusted them with an extraordinary mission. This series examines each of the Twelve individually: what the Gospels and Acts tell us, what the Church Fathers preserved, and what modern archaeology and scholarship have uncovered about their lives, their ministries, and their deaths.

The series begins with the apostle who appears first in every New Testament list and whose story is by far the best attested — Simon Peter.
