Description
The Apocryphal Gospels by Simon Gathercole A new translation of the oldest non-canonical Christian gospels sheds light on the early Christian Church and its surprising manifestations. These alternative versions of the story of Christ complement, subvert, and differ from the four canonical gospels, offering a fascinating glimpse into the diversity of early Christian thought. The texts included in this volume include the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Mary, and the Gospel of Judas, each providing a unique perspective on the life and teachings of Jesus. From the young Jesus making live birds from clay to gnostic cosmologies and strange angels, these gospels reveal a rich and complex history of Christian thought and practice.
