The Lost Apostle: Searching for the Truth about Junia (2006) is a book by Rena Pederson.

Abstract

"In The Lost Apostle award-winning journalist Rena Pederson investigates a little known subject in early Christian history—the life and times of the female apostle Junia. Junia was an early convert and leading missionary whose story was “lost” when her name was masculinized to Junias in later centuries. The Lost Apostle unfolds like a well-written detective story, presenting Pederson’s lively search for insight and information about a woman some say was the first female apostle ... Examines the life and times of the female apostle Junia, an early convert and leading missionary whose name was masculinized to Junias in later centuries, depriving Bible readers of key insight into the life and teachings of Christ."--Publisher description.
