Recensioner

This is the second half of the standard two-volume collection used by scholars of books that did not make it into the New Testament. This volume collects together letters, the legendary adventures and miracles of the apostles, and apocalypses (which make an interesting comparison to the last book of the New Testament.) Full of fascinating stories: highly recommended for anyone with a curiosity about what isn't in the Bible.

(For those who fear the influence of heresy, many of these books were considered 'edifying but not canonical' by early Church Fathers.)

There are many older translations of non-canonical Christian texts available for free online: the translations in this book are far newer and no scholar would dispute their accuracy or quality. (This book also contains helpful lists of books for further reading and excellent (if dense) introductions and notes for each work.)
