STEPHEN, APOCALYPSE OF

An apocryphal book, no longer extant, listed by the 6th-century Decretum Gelasianum among works to be rejected by the Church. Some scholars contend that this is a mistaken reference to a document composed in 415 c.e. which tells of Lucian’s discovery of the relics of Stephen. While the title Revelatio Sancti Stephani could be taken to be an apocalypse, it is still possible, given the experience of Stephen recorded in Acts 7:55-56, that this is a pseudepigraphical apocalypse written in the name of Stephen.

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
