Abstract:
Who were these men whom Jesus chose, in whose honor cathedrals have been built, around whom legend has spun golden webs, and whose names have been used in naming multitudes since? How was it that principally through their evangelistic efforts within three and a half centuries, proud, imperial Rome succumbed to the glad tidings of the Redeemer from the East? - Introduction.
