The ""Acts of Paul and Thecla"" is a collection of early Christian texts that tell the story of Thecla, a young woman who becomes a follower of the apostle Paul. The book is believed to have been written in the 2nd century and is considered one of the earliest examples of Christian literature outside of the New Testament. The text follows Thecla as she rejects her fianc����� and her family's wishes in order to follow Paul and his teachings. She faces persecution and even death, but ultimately emerges as a strong and faithful Christian. The book is notable for its portrayal of Thecla as a powerful and independent woman, and for its emphasis on the importance of virginity and celibacy. This edition of the ""Acts of Paul and Thecla"" is translated by William Wake and includes an introduction that provides historical and literary context for the text.THIS 24 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Apocryphal New Testament, by William Wake.
