The Twelfth Apostle: In the Footsteps of the Nazarene

By MR Keng Tiong Ng

Asher Natan, a brilliant but skeptical Orthodox Jewish scholar, has spent his academic career dismantling Christian claims about Jesus of Nazareth. His life takes an unimaginable turn when a tragic accident leaves him comatose-only to awaken in the body of Matthias, a first-century disciple destined to replace Judas Iscariot as the twelfth apostle.

Thrust into the heart of biblical history, Asher witnesses the unthinkable: miracles he once dismissed as legend, teachings that shake the foundations of his faith, and the enigmatic rabbi who defies every expectation. From the shores of Galilee to the streets of Jerusalem, he walks alongside Jesus, grappling with the weight of his newfound role. But as the shadow of the cross looms, Asher faces an impossible dilemma-should he use his knowledge of the future to alter history, or must he remain silent and let destiny unfold?

Torn between his scholarly instincts and the transformative power of the gospel, Asher's journey culminates in a soul-stirring revelation: some truths must be lived to be believed. The Twelfth Apostle is a masterful blend of historical fiction and spiritual odyssey, offering a fresh perspective on the life of Christ through the eyes of the disciple time forgot-and a testament to the enduring power of faith reborn.
