We Find Many Well Known Characters From The New Testament Who Sowed The Seeds Of The Gospel To The Peoples Of Provence And Elsewhere. The History Of This Period Is Often Criticized Because It Is Compounded Both Of Written Records And Local Legends. This Book Shows With Absolute Clarity That Legends And Records Dovetail In Together, Each Being Substantiated By The Other. Of Particular Interest Are The References Culled From Churches Founded By The Saints Who Were Companions Of Jesus During His Ministry.
