Recenzii
'Even if one disagrees, as I do, with many of Sean's conclusions about the fate of the apostles and the implications for debate regarding Jesus’s resurrection, his book remains a very useful, convenient collection and discussion of the traditions about the fate of Jesus's followers. Since the first edition, Sean has reassessed a few of the traditions about the apostles and responded to objections. The Fate of the Apostles will reward anyone interested in the history of the early church and in issues surrounding Jesus's resurrection.'

Praise for the first edition:
’Jesus forewarned his disciples of the persecution they would face. So, it’s not surprising to find stories of their martyrdom peppered throughout Church history. Many of these stories are late and unbelievable, at least in their entirety. So, what can we know about the fates of the apostles? As far as I’m aware, there has never been a thorough and careful historical investigation that provides an answer to this important question - until now... [A] welcome volume for scholars and laypeople alike. This book is an enjoyable read and provides a wealth of knowledge.’
- Michael Licona, Houston Baptist University, USA
’A much needed correction to excesses on both sides of the debate: those who uncritically pass on pious legends about early Christian suffering and martyrdom and those who adopt radical revisionist approaches to history and sources and deny or relativize the evidence, in order to claim that martyrdom and persecution were not widespread in the Roman Empire or were not significantly different from the martyrdoms experienced by other people. Readers of Professor McDowell’s book will appreciate his careful method and exacting use of historical sources, as well as his balanced and fair assessment of both ancient evidence and modern scholarly discussion. His conclusion that several of Jesus’ original followers suffered martyrdom because of their belief in Jesus, based on their first-hand experience of his resurrection, is wholly persuasive.’
