Synopsis

He is remembered as “Doubting Thomas.” But his story reaches far beyond that moment.

Thomas stood before the risen Jesus and declared, “My Lord and my God!” Later Christian writings and the traditions of India remember him as a traveller, preacher and martyr whose name became part of a community’s identity.

The Untold Stories of St. Thomas follows this remarkable story from the Gospel accounts to the shores of India. Along the way, we encounter a merchant searching for a builder, a king expecting a palace, families changed by faith, and extraordinary stories preserved through centuries.

Inside this illustrated book, discover:

• Thomas’s questions, courage and encounter with the risen Christ
• Memorable stories from the ancient Acts of Thomas
• Kerala’s traditions of the seven and a half churches
• Palayur, Malayattoor, Mylapore and other places associated with the apostle
• The songs, travellers and early writings that carried his memory across the world
• The enduring heritage of India’s St. Thomas Christians

Written in very easy English, this book brings Scripture, history and treasured traditions together in an engaging narrative. It clearly identifies the sources behind the stories while allowing readers to appreciate their meaning and lasting influence.

For readers interested in the apostles, Christian history and the roots of Christianity in India, this is an accessible journey into the life and legacy of a disciple remembered across continents.
