Preface and Introduction. The book is "old" - finished in A Preface. In seeking the information contained in this book, my search for the stories of the Twelve Apostles took me to many famous libraries such as those in Jerusalem, Rome, and that of the British Museum in London.

I also visited Babylon and made four journeys to Iran in search of the history of the Apostles' missions there. Of course, there were some disappointments. For example, the body of St. John is today nowbere to be found. I entered his tomb in Ephesui long ago. Recently after many centuries of neglect, the authorities have sealed it and covered it with a marble floor.
