The Twelve Apostles of Jesus of Nazareth—Part II

We continue the second episode in our four-part series on the Cosmic Citizen on the 12 apostles of Jesus of Nazareth.  After exploring Andrew and Simon Peter, we next turn to James and John Zebedee—the "sons of thunder."  These Galilean fisherman and sons of a boat builder were a fascinating contrast to each other.  Who were these men?  What did they admire so much about Jesus of Nazareth that they followed someone they knew growing up? What attracted them to Jesus? Our intention is then to study the fifth apostle, Philip "the curious."  We might also see why Philip is the "methodical" apostle. Our hosts, Paula Thompson, Christilyn Biek-Larson and Andre Radatus explore the remarkable profiles of these next three men plumbed in Paper 139 of The Urantia Book. We think you'll enjoy this study and find curious, as most all students eventually do, how much more common these men were than holy and how wonderfully representative they were of the gamut of humanity. We will invite a variety of guests on this topic throughout the series to get their perspective on these apostles. How were these men challenges for Jesus and how did they manage to grow progressively, spiritually, and faithfully despite numerous preconceived ideas about God, Jesus' mission, and what was necessary to growth in faith toward God.
