Book Description
This is a classic, beautiful and detailed historical exposition about the lives of the Holy Apostles of Our Lord Jesus Christ, made with great respect for the sources and the ancient voices. As the Author says: "I find no better way, than to retire into those primitive and better times, those first purest ages of the gospel, when men really were what they pretended to be, when a solid piety and devotion, a strict temperance and sobriety, a catholic and unbounded charity, an exemplary honesty and integrity, a great reverence for every thing that was divine and sacred, rendered Christianity venerable to the world, and led not only the rude and the barbarous, but the learned and politer part of mankind in triumph after it.
