Discover one of the most compelling and least-knows witnesses to the foundations of the Catholic Church.  Attributed to St Abdias of Babylon, a disciple of the Apostles and the first Patriarch of the Persian Church, this ancient account offers a vivid portrait of the missionary labors, confrontations and martyrdoms of the Church's two greatest Apostles.

Translated with clarity and fidelity by Fr Robert Nixon, OSB, this volume draws from early Christian sources long revered in tradition, filling in narrative gaps left by Sacred Scripture.  Readers encounter Peter and Paul not as distant icons, but as flesh-and-blood men preaching across the Roman world, confronting pagan power, enduring persecution, and sealing their witness with blood.  Rich in historical detail, theological depth, and dramatic force, this work invites modern Catholics to rediscover the courage, authority and sacrificial love upon which the church was built.
