It discusses key texts including the \u003cem\u003eGospel of Thomas\u003c\/em\u003e, the \u003cem\u003eGospel of Mary\u003c\/em\u003e, the \u003cem\u003eGospel of Peter\u003c\/em\u003e, letters attributed to Paul, Peter, and Jesus, and acts and apocalypses written about or attributed to different apostles. Part One consists of authoritative surveys of the main branches of apocryphal literature (gospels, acts, epistles, apocalypses, and related literature) and Part Two considers key issues that they raise. These include their contribution to our understanding of developing theological understandings of Jesus, the apostles and other important figures such as Mary. It also addresses the value of these texts as potential sources for knowledge of the historical Jesus, and for debates about Jewish-Christian relations, the practice of Christian worship, and developing understandings of asceticism, gender and sexuality, etc. The volume also considers questions such as which ancient readers read early Christian apocrypha, their place in Christian spirituality, and their place in contemporary popular culture and contemporary theological discourse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAndrew Gregory\u003c\/strong\u003e is Chaplain and Fellow of University College, Oxford. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChristopher Tuckett \u003c\/strong\u003ewas Professor of New Testament Studies at University of Oxford. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTobias Nicklas\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of New Testament Exegesis and Hermeneutics at the University of Regensburg. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJoseph Verheyden\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of New Testament at the University of Leuven.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 496\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 9.5 x 6.6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 25, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42562738684000,"sku":"9780198801252","price":130.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/1922\/9280\/files\/MpnZ943C4g9780198801252.webp?v=1770368128","url":"https:\/\/bijoucc.myshopify.com\/products\/the-oxford-handbook-of-early-christian-apocrypha-paperback","provider":"CARIBBEAN CONNECT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
