Andrew the Apostle

About Andrew the Apostle

Andrew the Apostle, a key religious figure who lived roughly from the first century BCE to 70 CE, holds a significant, though not top-tier, position in world history, ranking #149 out of approximately 15,000 figures tracked by the Pantheon project. Traditionally recognized as one of the twelve apostles of Jesus, his primary historical contribution stems from his role as an early disciple and evangelist in the formation of early Christianity, specifically noted for bringing his brother, Simon Peter, to Jesus. This foundational importance secures his place among history's most influential figures.

In terms of modern internet attention, Andrew the Apostle's 476K Wikipedia views in 2025 suggest a relatively balanced alignment with his historical importance, indicated by his attention gap of ~1x. However, within his own field of religious figures, the comparison highlights the attention disparity: he receives less than half the views of John the Baptist (#151 importance, 1.3M views) and significantly fewer than Pope Pius XII (#214 importance, 1.1M views). While his attention is not notably absent, it is clearly outpaced by other religious personalities who rank slightly lower or similarly in historical influence.

Interestingly, despite the modest traffic, Andrew shows strong engagement: his 2025 Momentum (comparing Q1 to Q3) is a robust +40%, suggesting a surge in topical interest during the latter part of the year, even as the year-over-year change remains a slight -0.7%.
