In The Lost Apostle award-winning journalist Rena Pederson investigates a little known subject in early Christian history the life and times of the female apostle Junia. Junia was an early convert and leading missionary whose story was lost when her name was masculinized to Junias in later centuries. The Lost Apostle unfolds like a well-written detective story, presenting Pederson s lively search for insight and information about a woman some say was the first female apostle.
