Description: The Apocryphal Gospels : Paperback : Penguin Books Ltd : 9780241340554 : 0241340551 : 10 May 2022 : In the early years of Christianity, several groups produced 'hidden' or 'apocryphal' gospels, alternative versions of the story of Christ. Sometimes these texts complimented the four canonical gospels of the New Testament, sometimes they subverted them and often they were completely different. Here, in the widest selection of non-canonical gospels gathered in one volume - which also includes two modern forgeries - we see the young Jesus making live birds from clay, hear his secret words of wisdom, discover gnostic cosmologies and witness the Harrowing of Hell. Preseved by their readers and attacked by their detractors, these gospels shine a fascinating light on the early Christian church.

  • Cambridge University Press The Cambridge Companion to the Gospels

    Price: £24.99

    Brand: Cambridge University Press

     

    Description: Throughout the history of Christianity, the four canonical gospels have proven to be vital resources for Christian thought and practice, and an inspiration for humanistic culture generally. Indeed, the gospels and their interpretation have had a profound impact on theology, philosophy, the sciences, ethics, worship, architecture, and the creative arts. Building on the strengths of the first edition, The Cambridge Companion to the Gospels, 2nd edition, takes account of new directions in gospels research, notably: the milieu in which the gospels were read, copied, and circulated alongside non-canonical gospels; renewed debates about the sources of the gospels and their interrelations; how central gospel themes are illuminated by a variety of critical approaches and theological readings; the reception of the gospels over time and in various media; and how the gospels give insight into the human condition.

  • Thomas Nelson Publishers Lost Books of the Bible and the Forgotten Books of Eden

    Price: £14.99

    Brand: Thomas Nelson Publishers

     

    Description: In Lost Books of the Bible and the Forgotten Books of Eden you can read for yourself many of the manuscripts which were excluded from canonized Scripture and discover new appreciation for those which were chosen. Though apocryphal in nature--many of them suppressed by the early Church Fathers--these forgotten books, gospels, testaments, and epistles are fascinating and beautifully written. Included in this volume are: Apocryphal gospel accounts, such as The Gospel of the Birth of Mary, Thomas's Gospel of the Infancy of Christ, and Peter's Gospel. Apocryphal epistles, such as Paul's letter to the Laodiceans, Clement's letter to the Corinthians, and the general epistles of Barnabas. Letters from Ignatius to groups of early Christians, including the Ephesians, the Romans, and the Trallians. The early 2nd century Christian work, The Shepherd of Hermas. Roman letters and reports from Herod and Pilate. Fables from Old Testament times, such as The Books of Adam and Eve, The Secrets of Enoch, and the Psalms of Solomon. Historical accounts, including the fourth book of the Maccabees. And more. Included before each book are some notes on its origins. Also included are frequent black-and-white images of etchings from early manuscripts.

  • SPCK Publishing Thomas and the Gospels

    Price: £19.99

    Brand: SPCK Publishing

     

    Description: The Gospel of Thomas is the most controversial of the non-canonical gospels and the most important source outside the Gospels for our understanding of the historical Jesus and Christianity's origins. Mark Goodacre makes a detailed and compelling case that the author of The Gospel of Thomas is, after all, familiar with the Synoptic Gospels. He shows that the arguments for independence are inadequate and that the degree of agreement between Thomas and the Synoptics is far too great to be mediated by oral tradition. He suggests that Thomas features tell-tale signs of Matthew's and Luke's redactions and that the Gospel should be dated to the early to middle second century, when its author was looking for a means of lending the voice of his enigmatic Jesus an authoritative, Synopic-sounding legitimacy.
