In an engaging and imaginative style,
Stories of Early Christianity recounts important events found in the book of Acts. vanThanh Nguyen brings to life the extraordinary events of various (mostly unknown) characters found in this scriptural text as they share their adventures and struggles as Christianity was beginning to take shape. The characters who narrate their own experience include Mary from Nazareth, Matthias, Rhoda, John Mark, Cornelius, Barnabas, Dionysius the Areopagite, Lydia, Priscilla and Aquila, and Luke. Through "imaginative retellings," this book remains true to the spirit of the person revealed in the Acts of the Apostles.
