Summary "The Apostles" by Ernest Renan is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work is part of Renan's exploration of the origins of Christianity, focusing on the years immediately following the death of Jesus and the subsequent actions of his apostles. Renan delves into the formation of beliefs regarding the resurrection and the early missionary efforts to spread Christianity. The opening of the text sets the scene just after the burial of Jesus, highlighting the emotional turmoil experienced by his disciples as they grapple with his death. Renan describes the initial despair of these followers who mourn their beloved leader, and gradually illustrates how their love and hope resurrected Jesus in their hearts before any physical evidence of his resurrection could affirm their faith. The chapter details the visit of women, including Mary Magdalene, to the tomb, where they discover it empty and encounter visions of angels, which stirs excitement and speculation among the disciples. Through this narrative, Renan begins to portray the significant role played by the apostles in the early spread of Christianity, emphasizing both emotional and spiritual experiences that shaped the foundation of their beliefs.
