The Women Who Loved Jesus
Our world is ready for the untold stories of the twelve female apostles commissioned by Jesus. The Bible mentions only a few of these women, but never refers to them as apostles. Only in 1955 was the role of these female counterparts to the male apostles revealed in The Urantia Book, a profound modern text that has gone on to sell over a million copies worldwide. This detailed new account corrects and supplements the New Testament's record for our global era. It stuns readers by explaining how Jesus’s attitude toward women was “the most astonishing and the most revolutionary feature of [his] mission on earth,” leading him to break with Hebrew tradition by appointing a women corps. Now, many decades later, we’ve been gifted with an even more expanded account of Jesus’s work with his most devoted female followers. The Women Who Loved Jesus shares inspiring new details of this long-suppressed story thanks to the eye-witness narrations provided by each of his dozen female apostles.
