Jim,

Thanks for the quick response.  My research at this point is sketchy, but 
one of several points I have looked at includes the one Don suggests below. 
 I had a hunch that Dunn had discussed this somewhere, but was uncertain as 
to where.  As far as I can tell, the biggest problem comes from Peter's 
statement in Acts 1:22 that the replacement must have been with them from 
the time of John's baptism.

Will you please clarify what you meant by the question: "Why does the NT 
never focus on the 12 in the post pauline epistles if he was one of the 
12?"  I don't want to overlook this point.

Thanks,
