HISTORY OF CHRISTIANITY IN INDIA : M. M. NINAN (11) http://www.nfobase.com/html/the_peutinger_table.html “What is really interesting here is the centrality of Muziris. It is marked with a big red circle. It is, indeed, the most important city east of Antioch. Yet it is not connected to anything in the interior, much less across the peninsula. To the left of Muziris is an "Augustinian temple." Many have taken this to be an old Roman structure. But that would seem odd on this decidedly Christian map.” Peutinger's Tabula was originally a long parchment map 6.80 metres by 34 centimetres.

HISTORY OF CHRISTIANITY IN INDIA : M. M. NINAN CHAPTER TWO ENTER THOMAS Judas Thomas was one of the disciples of Jesus. He is also known as Didymus, which means the Twin. Thomas means Twin in Aramaic and Didymus means Twin in Greek. He is generally known as the Doubting Thomas since he refused to believe the resurrection unless he has verified it himself. If we apply the criteria of Rom. 10:10 Thomas was the first Christian, since he was the first person to confess that Jesus was indeed God. His acts are not found in the Acts of the Apostles. But an apocryphal book written around 300 AD called "Acts of Thomas”, describes it with embellishments and exaggerations. It was probably written in Greek and was translated in to Syriac. (16). It is also found in Latin, Armenian, Ethiopic (Coptic), and Arabic. These were written by Gnostic writers in Edessa and some scholars ascribe it to Bardaisan (155-223 AD) of Syria. Apart from embellishments and exaggerations typical of these types of writings, the context and historical facts are true. Archeology and <strong>Indian</strong> traditions substantiate the basic historic and geographic context in this book. St. Thomas & Fragment of Acts of Thomas in Coptic 15
