The comparison of the earthly lives of the holy apostles Peter and Paul provides a rich source of reflection for a Christian. These two individuals, two disciples of our Lord Jesus Christ, in the popular consciousness are seen as two pillars of the Christian faith. During their earthly lives, they were remarkably different people, with different characters and habits, different backgrounds and life experiences, often arguing with each other, yet together and inseparably embodying the essence of the God-inspired apostolic teaching. Their union became a symbol of the unity of the Church, the unity of the Spirit. The book presented to your attention is not an academic theological study, but an engaging narrative about everything we know about the earthly lives of the first supreme apostles - from the Holy Scriptures, from the works of the Apostles and their contemporaries that have reached us, from the research of historians, archaeologists, and biblical scholars... Step by step, the reader, following the authors, will traverse the thorny path of the apostles, visit the places where they preached their great message, and where they met their martyrdom. The book also tells about the posthumous veneration of the first supreme saints over all twenty centuries of Christianity, about the holy places dedicated to the memory of the apostles, about the relics preserved, which were touched by the hands of Peter and Paul. Recommended for all Orthodox Christians interested in the details of the history of the first century of Christianity and apostolic preaching. Compiled by: Markova A. A.
