Publisher's Synopsis
The Acts of Paul and Thecla is a religious text that dates back to the 2nd century AD. It is believed to be a part of the New Testament apocrypha, a collection of early Christian writings that were not included in the official canon of the Bible. The book tells the story of Thecla, a young woman who becomes a follower of the Apostle Paul after hearing him preach. Despite opposition from her family and society, Thecla remains steadfast in her faith and eventually becomes a powerful evangelist in her own right. The Acts of Paul and Thecla is an important early Christian text that sheds light on the role of women in the early church and the spread of Christianity in the ancient world. This particular edition of the text is translated and annotated by William Wake, an English bishop and theologian who lived in the late 17th and early 18th centuries.THIS 24 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Apocryphal New Testament, by William Wake.
