Summary "Lives of the Apostles of Jesus Christ" by David Francis Bacon is a historical account written in the early 19th century. This work seeks to provide a distinct and plain narrative of the lives of the apostles, drawing from various ancient sources to create a comprehensive overview of their contributions and significance in the early Christian community. The opening of the book introduces the author's intent and outlines the structure of the narrative. Produced under challenging circumstances, Bacon expresses his commitment to clarify the apostles' lives based on extensive research among historical texts. He defines the term "apostle," explaining its origins and implications in both Greek and Hebrew contexts, emphasizing their role as messengers sent by Christ to spread his teachings. Bacon also distinguishes between the Galilean apostles, including Peter and his companions, and the Hellenist apostles, like Paul and Barnabas, setting the stage for detailed explorations of each apostle's life and impact on Christianity.
