Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. What happened to Jesus before the Gospels begin? What became of the apostles after the Book of Acts? What secret teachings did early Christians place on the lips of Jesus-and what did they imagine awaited the soul after death?The New Testament Apocrypha opens the door to the vast, strange, beautiful, and often startling world of Christian literature beyond the New Testament.Gathered here are writings spanning the earliest centuries of Christianity through the medieval world: alternative and fragmentary gospels, stories of Jesus' childhood, accounts of his Passion and resurrection, secret sayings and revelations, legendary adventures of the apostles, ancient letters and sermons, mystical hymns, church orders, Marian traditions, Gnostic scriptures, and unforgettable visions of heaven, hell, and the end of the world.Among the works included are: - The Gospel of Thomas - The Gospel of Peter - The Gospel of Mary - The Gospel of Philip - The Gospel of Judas - The Protevangelium of James - The Infancy Gospel of Thomas - The Gospel of Nicodemus / Acts of Pilate - The Acts of Peter, Paul, John, Andrew, Thomas, and Philip - The Didache - 1 and 2 Clement - The Epistle of Barnabas - The Shepherd of Hermas - The Odes of Solomon - The Apocalypses of Peter, Paul, Thomas, and the Virgin - Marian Dormition and Assumption traditions - Ethiopian Christian works including Qalementos, Tizaz, and the Ethiopic Didascalia - and many more.These writings are not a single "lost Bible," nor were they all suppressed by the early church. Some were read beside books that eventually became Scripture; some belonged to rival forms of Christianity; some preserve very early traditions; others reveal how Christian imagination continued to develop for centuries. Together they offer an extraordinary record of Christians asking questions the canonical New Testament left unanswered. The finished volume ranges across gospels and sayings, apostolic narratives, letters, church orders, esoteric texts, Marian traditions, and apocalyptic literature, representing strikingly different periods and Christian communities.Every major work is accompanied by a newly written introduction explaining its date, origins, manuscript history, theology, historical setting, and influence-clearly distinguishing what scholars know from what remains uncertain. Rather than treating these works as either forbidden secrets or worthless curiosities, this edition invites readers to encounter them as surviving voices from the immense and untidy world of Christian tradition.Here you will meet a child Jesus who makes clay birds come alive, Peter confronting Simon Magus, Thomas carrying the gospel toward India, Mary Magdalene defending her revelation before skeptical apostles, Paul touring the punishments of the dead, Mary pleading for souls in hell, and Christians imagining everything from the hidden structure of heaven to the practical details of baptism, Eucharist, fasting, leadership, and community life.The New Testament Apocrypha is an essential collection for readers interested in early Christianity, lost and forgotten scriptures, Christian origins, Gnosticism, biblical history, the historical Jesus, Mary Magdalene, the apostles, and the remarkable literature that flourished beyond the boundaries of the New Testament.The New Testament gave Christianity its foundational books. This volume opens the much larger library that grew around them.</em Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Go Beyond the 66 Books of the Protestant BibleThere is more to the biblical tradition than most readers have ever been told.For nearly two thousand years, Christians around the world have preserved and read sacred books that are absent from the Protestant Bible. The Old Testament Apocrypha brings this extraordinary literature together in one expansive readers' edition, drawing from the biblical traditions of the Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and Ethiopian Churches.These are not simply forgotten curiosities or modern 'lost books.' They are ancient scriptures that have shaped Jewish and Christian faith, theology, worship, art, and imagination for centuries-and many of them are still read as Scripture by Christians today.Inside this remarkable collection you'll find:All of the Deuterocanonical books preserved in the Roman Catholic traditionThe additional books and texts preserved by the Eastern Orthodox Churches1 Enoch, with its astonishing visions of angels, Watchers, judgment, and the heavenly worldJubilees, the remarkable retelling and expansion of Genesis and Exodus1, 2 & 3 Meqabyan, preserved in the Ethiopian biblical tradition and rarely encountered by Western readersBeloved works including Tobit, Judith, Sirach, Wisdom of Solomon, Baruch, and the additions to Esther and DanielThe dramatic histories and martyrdom stories of the Maccabean literaturePrayers, wisdom, visions, legends, and sacred histories that illuminate the world between the Old and New TestamentsAnd there's more than just the texts-every book begins with a fresh, engaging contemporary introduction exploring:When and where the work was writtenIts probable original language and historical settingWhat makes the book distinctiveIts influence on Judaism and ChristianityWhich Christian traditions preserved or received itAnd most importantly: Why should anyone read it today The result is an Apocrypha designed not merely to sit on a reference shelf, but to be read, explored, enjoyed, and understood. If you've ever wondered what lies beyond the familiar Protestant canon-or wanted to explore the Apocrypha, Deuterocanonical books, Book of Enoch, Jubilees, the Ethiopian Bible, or the so-called 'lost books of the Bible'-this collection is an ideal place to begin.The biblical world is bigger, stranger, and more fascinating than you thought. Open the book and discover what you've been missing.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The Bible left questions. Ancient readers answered them.What happened to Adam and Eve after they were driven from Eden What did Enoch see when he was taken into heaven Where did later traditions about angels, demons, Satan, resurrection, and the Last Judgment come from And how did the brief biblical encounter between Solomon and the Queen of Sheba become the foundation of an entire Ethiopian sacred history For centuries, Jewish and Christian writers explored the stories the Bible left unfinished. Their answers survive in the extraordinary body of literature known as the Old Testament Pseudepigrapha-visionary, mystical, legendary, philosophical, apocalyptic, and sometimes wonderfully strange.This expansive volume brings together some of the most important and fascinating of these ancient and medieval writings, including The Books of Adam and Eve, 2 and 3 Enoch, The Martyrdom of Isaiah, The Letter of Aristeas, The Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs, The Sibylline Oracles, The Assumption of Moses, 2 and 3 Baruch, The Psalms of Solomon, Pirke Avot, The Story of Ahikar, The Testament of Solomon, The Cave of Treasures, and the Ethiopian Kebra Nagast.Presented in clear, contemporary prose, each work is accompanied by a new introduction explaining its origins, historical setting, major themes, influence, and significance for readers today.These are not simply 'lost books of the Bible.' They are something richer: a record of generations wrestling with scripture, filling its silences, challenging empires, imagining the heavens, confronting evil and suffering, and asking questions that remain with us still.Discover the vast world of sacred story beyond the biblical canon. …
