Les apôtres by Ernest Renan
QR code
"Les apôtres" by Ernest Renan is a historical account written in the late 19th century. It serves as the second book of Renan's broader work, "Histoire des Origines du Christianisme," and focuses on the period from the death of Jesus to the early missions of Saint Paul. The text delves into the formation and impact of the early Christian church and the significant roles played by the apostles during this transformative time
in religious history. The opening of "Les apôtres" sets the stage for the exploration of the events following the death of Jesus Christ, beginning at April 4, 33 AD. Renan outlines how the apostles, propelled by the teachings and purported resurrection of Jesus, begin to organize and spread their beliefs despite challenges and adversities. He emphasizes the importance of the apostles' experiences in Jerusalem, their growing faith in the resurrection, and the initial steps they take towards establishing the first Christian community. This period of action reveals how the early church navigated its identity distinct from Judaism and hints at the pivotal missions that will follow under Paul's leadership.
