Inhaltsangabe

Today, many take the texts of the New Testament as if they are set in stone. But there was much debate among early Christians about which writings should be included, and which left out ? often for reasons more political than religious. This groundbreaking book will set the record straight. The Forgotten Gospels shows how the creation of the canon that we now take for granted excluded many important, informative, and illuminating writings about the life, death, and teachings of Jesus. Tim Newton argues that everything that appears to have been written down at a comparable time to the gospels about Jesus' life and teachings, either by those who knew him or by those who knew of him, should be considered anew, whatever the source. The results are presented here ? texts newly translated from their original Greek, Latin, Hebrew, Slavonic, and Coptic and accompanied by clear, concise explanations of their origins and relevance. Together, they form a supplement to the New Testament that will redress the balance of those early decisions and provide one last, unexpected window into the life and teachings of Jesus.
