"The Apostles" by Ernest Renan is a historical narrative that explores the formative period of Christianity after Jesus's death. The story begins with the deep sorrow of Jesus's disciples as they struggle with His passing. It shows their growing faith and how their affection for Jesus brought Him back to life in their memories, even before they knew for sure that He had risen from the dead. The book talks about when Mary Magdalene and other women went to Jesus's tomb and found it empty. They saw angels, which made the disciples excited and curious. This excitement shows how important the apostles were in helping Christianity grow at first, focusing on the feelings and spiritual times that created what they believed.

Summary
About the AuthorJoseph Ernest Renan was a French Orientalist and Semitic scholar, writing on Semitic languages and civilizations, historian of religion, philologist, philosopher, biblical scholar, and critic. He wrote works on the origins of early Christianity, and espoused popular political theories especially concerning nationalism, national identity, and the alleged superiority of White people over other human "races". Renan is known as being among the first scholars to advance the debunked Khazar theory, which held that Ashkenazi Jews were descendants of the Khazars, Turkic peoples who had adopted the Jewish religion and allegedly migrated to central and eastern Europe following the collapse of their khanate.
