Summary

THE LOST APOSTLE is a lively and informative search for insight and information about a woman some say was the first and most highly regarded female apostle. In the New Testament book of Romans (16:7), the apostle Paul says: "Greet Andronicus and Junia, my relatives, who have been in prison with me. They are outstanding among the apostles and they were in Christ before I was." In this same passage, he mentions a number of other women as well--Phoebe, Priscilla, Aquila, Mary, Tryphena, Tryphosa, Persis, Julia, Olympas, indicating a high representation of women in early converts and Paul's esteem for them. How does this fit with Paul's other teachings on the subordination of women? Was there a disconnect between his teachings and his actual practice? What roles did they play? What are the implications for Christians today? There are many more questions that these passages prompt, questions that journalist Rena Pedersen has engaged and researched, with the help of top historians and biblical experts.
