Synopsis

This book begins by celebrating the wisdom and goodness of Jesus Christ in creating the Catholic Church and inaugurating the apostles to spread the word of his teachings. It follows the apostles' journeys as they spread the faith, beginning in Jerusalem and moving throughout the Roman Empire. The book's third chapter details the apostles' work bringing the teachings of Christ to people of all nations, symbolizing the breaking down of spiritual boundaries that had previously kept people alienated from one another. The apostles planted churches throughout the ancient world from Palestine to Rome and ordained local pastors to continue their ministry. This book not only details the journeys of the early church but places it within the historical context of the Roman Empire and the role that faith played in the lives of early Christians.
