Apocrypha Texts: Archaeological And Textual Discoveries: Apocryphal Gospels And Documents - Paperback

by Ilana Abundiz (Author)

The apocryphal gospels form a branch of the apocryphal literature that attended the formation of the New Testament canon of Scripture. Apocryphal here means non-canonical. Besides gospels, this literature included acts, epistles, and apocalypses.
This book looks at the history of the books excluded from the Bible, the characters and events told by the books, and the discoveries that have influenced Biblical studies in the last few centuries. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about the Apocrypha of the Bible like never before.
