The testimony and fate of the early apostles

[LarrySmith]

Does any one have a good link to the fate of each of the early apostles(including Paul)

I realize the scripture doesn't go into much detail on this issue but I don't have a problem with reading historical accounts. Does any one have any links?

I'm off to work so I don't have time for a quick "google"

I think it would encourage all of us to see how they died and what they were willing to suffer fir the gospel's sake.

I agree. Christians need to learn the history of their faith. Here is a quick search on some of them, when you have time really check out www.newadvent.org - they got tons of info on the fathers of the church:

Can someone please explain what these are?

http://www.newadvent.org/fathers/

Where did they come from? Are they not in the bible for a reason? What are they? I don't understand at al....

 

[JeffreyLloyd]

They were the first Christians. Most of them were taught by the apostles.

Wow! I never knew stuff like this existed!

Can you recommend any? I love reading the stuff that Paul wrote (Ephesians especially)...

Here our church fathers per topic:

[Oblio]

The Holy Fathers are those that guided by the Holy Spirit, are instrumental in the life of the Body of Christ, His Church.

You can search for more information on each individual Apostle at

Feasts and Saints of the Church Year

For example:

Ss. Peter & Paul
