Overview

What did it mean to be an apostle in New Testament times? What does it mean today? C. K. Barrett surveys the New Testament to discover who the apostles were, what they did, and the relationship between the 12 apostles and later Christian leaders such as Paul. Barrett then assesses how churches can reflect apostleship in their faith, preaching, life, and order—especially in light of radical theology and the ecumenical movement of the 1960s.
