About this listen

 Explore the fascinating world of early Christian legends with The Apocryphal Acts of Paul, Peter, John, Andrew and Thomas, first published in 1909. This captivating collection, believed to date back to around 150 CE, offers some of the earliest glimpses into the lives, teachings, and martyrdoms of the apostles Paul, Peter, John, Andrew, and Thomas. Written in a richly imaginative style, these Acts have profoundly influenced Christian thought, even though they lack historical accuracy as biographies. Translator Bernhard Pick tackled the most complete versions available in his time, resulting in a translation that highlights gaps in the original texts. In this LibriVox recording, listeners will encounter not only the fascinating narratives but also Picks insightful introductions, reflecting the scholarly context of the early 20th century. Discover the fragments of faith and belief from the pre-Nicene era in this extraordinary collection. (Summary by JoeD)
