The new book of Pope Benedict XVI is dedicated to the apostles and other important figures of the early Church. It was to these people that Jesus Christ entrusted the continuation of His mission, but how many people today know who they were and why they remained in the memory and in the heart of all generations of believers? Based on the books of the New Testament, the tradition of the Church and new historical research, Benedict XVI describes the distinctive features of the apostles, talks about their personal experience with the Founder of Christianity, the most significant events in the life of the apostles, and draws portraits of other prominent personalities of the early Church era. The publication is addressed to all who are interested in the doctrine and history of Christianity.
