Drawing from the Apocrypha, other noncanonical sources, and the New Testament, Mayer presents portraits of the twelve apostles, as well as Matthias, who replaced Judas. Reproductions of fine art depicting Jesus' followers contribute to the volume's attractive design. An author's note offers a bit of background information, but the book will be most appreciated by readers already familiar with the Gospels.
