Written by So I received some cordial responses to my emails requesting information regarding apostles being Persian or Roman in origin. Those who responded basically said, “I got it from so and so…” I tracked down some of the references who have no further references but contacted them. Hopefully they will respond soon.
Some of them claim to be apostles which is interesting to me. I wonder what that might look like in contemporary society, especially in the West.
In related reading, I’m finishing up C.K. Barrett’s book Signs of Apostle or something like that. It seems to me there are some areas where he contradicts himself, but it is good reading nonetheless.
