Sommario/riassunto |
|
This study focuses on the apocryphal ""Acts of Andrew"" (200 AD), which purport to tell the story of the travels, miracles and martyrdom of the apostle Andrew. Breaking with tradition that concludes the Acts came from scripture, the author investigates classical literature to find the sources. |
