Starting with the Galilean fishermen, David Francis Bacon gives a chapter to each of the Twelve: Simon Peter, Andrew, James and John the sons of Zebedee, Philip, Nathanael, Matthew, Thomas and the lesser-known Simon Zelotes and Juda. He gathers what the Gospels and Acts record, then weighs the traditions of their later missions and deaths.
