Summary
Details

Thecla: The First Martyr of Christianity is a deeply moving mediumnistic romance psychographed by the renowned Brazilian medium Carlos A. Baccelli and dictated by the spirit Brother José. Blending historical epic with profound spiritual philosophy, the novel unearths the forgotten saga of Thecla of Iconium, a brilliant young woman who became a pioneering force in early Christianity.

Raised in a patriarchal society and betrothed to a wealthy man, Thecla's life transforms when she secretly hears the preaching of the Apostle Paul. Captivated by the liberating message of Jesus Christ, she breaks her engagement and defies her furious father, who drags her before the Roman Proconsul. Condemned to burn at the stake, and later thrown to bloodthirsty beasts in the arenas of Antioch, Thecla's unwavering faith triggers astonishing miracles that leave both Romans and Jews in awe.

Guided by the luminous spirit of Abigail, Thecla becomes the first woman to preach the Gospel, traveling alongside Paul and Barnabas, and even meeting Mary of Nazareth. This sweeping narrative rescues the vital, often overlooked role of women in the foundation of Christianity, delivering a powerful message of love, spiritual rebirth, and supreme devotion to the Divine.
