Specifications
A new translation of the older non-canonical Christian gospels. In the early years of Christianity, several groups produced hidden or apocryphal gospels, alternative versions of the story of Christ. Sometimes, these texts supplemented the four canonical gospels of the New Testament, other times they undermined them, and often they were completely different.
In this largest collection of non-canonical gospels gathered in one volume - which also includes two modern forgeries - we see the young Jesus creating living birds from clay, hear his secret words of wisdom, discover Gnostic cosmologies, and witness the Harrowing of Hell.
Preserved by their readers and attacked by their opponents, these gospels cast an interesting light on the early Christian church.
Translation and Introduction by Simon Gathercole.
Pages: 480, Dimensions: 12.8x12.8cm.
