If you could add a book to the Bible, what would it contain? Here is one answer to that question: a ’sequel’ to Acts, showing the later careers of the Twelve, Paul’s final travels before he faces Nero, the commission of the four Gospels, Jerusalem and its temple destroyed, the importance of the family of Jesus, and how close the apostles got to ’the ends of the earth’ in spreading the gospel. The Apostles after Acts includes a commentary that explains how the text was reconstructed from ancient sources and historical research. Here is a creative approach to the little-known but critical period when the New Testament record stops–and Christianity is just beginning.
