- | The '''Apostolic Age''' of the [[history of Christianity]] is traditionally the period of the [[Twelve Apostles]], dating from the [[Crucifixion of Jesus]] (c. 26–36) and the [[Great Commission]] until the death of [[John the Apostle]] (c. 100). Since it is believed that John lived so long and was the last of the [[Deaths of the Twelve Apostles|twelve to die]], there is some overlap between the ''"Apostolic Age"'' and the first [[Apostolic Fathers]], whose writings are used to mark the beginning of the [[Ante-Nicene Period]]. It holds special significance in Christian tradition as the age of the direct apostles of [[Jesus Christ]]. The major [[primary source]] for the ''"Apostolic Age"'' is the [[Acts of the Apostles]], but [[Historical reliability of the Acts of the Apostles|its historical accuracy is questioned by some]]. | + | |
