Everything on this site is a footnote to him. The figures here are the people who carried what he taught from one generation to the next, in writing, in argument, in martyrdom, sometimes in failure. The chain to Jesus is not metaphor — it's a real human relay race over seven hundred years, and every link is a person who staked their life on the claim that he rose from the dead.
