Blurb reads:
What happened after the close of the New Testament? That is the theme of this book. In the historic sense it is a sequel to the New Testament, telling all that is known, and what may be surmised, about the fate of the disciples and the dramatic conflict between the Roman authority and the Christians from AD39, when Caligula dismissed Herod of Antipas, to AD155, when Polycarp, the last man to have known one of the Twelve, was put to death.
The story is told as a swift-moving historical narrative linked by the interplay of characters over three generations. It brings vividly to life all the personalities who played a part in the great drama of Christian beginnings.
