Description

The Ancient Apocryphal Gospels offers a sympathetic account of non-canonical Gospel writings, exploring their place within the reception history and formation of the canonical fourfold Gospel. Markus Bockmuehl examines dozens of specific apocryphal texts, revealing complex oral and intertextual relationships between the noncanonical and canonical Gospels. Bockmuehl argues that it is legitimate to read the apocryphal writings as an engagement with the person of Jesus, one that both presupposes and supplements the canonical narrative outline. This reader-friendly guide provides a fuller understanding of these writings and their significance for biblical interpretation in the church, making it suitable for pastors and nonspecialists alike. By exploring the early history behind apocryphal Gospels and their relationships with the canonical text, Bockmuehl offers a nuanced perspective on the development of Christian scripture.
