Many people call him Doubting Thomas because he did not believe the other apostles when they told him that the risen Jesus had come to visit them. Here is the story.

Cloë, I personally think poor Thomas gets a bad rap. I know he did not believe his friends, but once Jesus appeared again he not only knew the truth (My Lord and My God) but he spent the rest of his life telling people about Jesus!
You are right Tallulah. Just imagine if Thomas had seen and believed and then done nothing with that information! Many people think that Thomas went to India to spread this Good News. Today there are about 24 million Christians in India!
