What About the Twelve?

'What About the Twelve?' is an insightful exploration of the lives, characters, and spiritual journeys of the twelve apostles chosen by Jesus. Written by Robert Freeman, this work delves into the individual personalities of these foundational figures in Christian history, moving beyond their names to uncover the human traits-the strengths, weaknesses, doubts, and ultimate devotions-that defined their ministry.Through a series of thoughtful biographical sketches, the author examines how these diverse men, ranging from humble fishermen to a tax collector, were transformed by their proximity to Christ. The book invites readers to reflect on the universal nature of the apostles’ experiences, suggesting that their struggles and triumphs mirror those of any seeker of faith. Freeman’s prose is both accessible and profound, making 'What About the Twelve?' an enduring resource for those interested in the New Testament and the origins of the early Church. It serves as both a historical inquiry and a guide for personal spiritual development, emphasizing the profound impact of the apostolic mission on the world.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
