Sometimes these texts complemented 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. Preserved by their readers and attacked by their detractors, these gospels shine a fascinating light on the early Christian Church.Translated with an Introduction by Simon GathercoleCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: HistoryTopic: Ancient History, Philosophy & SpiritualityRelease Year: 2021 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
