The so-called Epistula Apostolorum is an early gospel-like text in
which the eleven apostles recount a question-and-answer session
with the risen Jesus on Easter morning, intended to equip them for
the worldwide mission to which they are now called. The Epistula
draws selectively from the Gospels of John and Matthew, while
disagreeing with its sources at a number of points and claiming
definitive status for its own rendering of the apostolic gospel.
This book is based on a new translation of this important but
neglected text, drawing on the Coptic, Ethiopic, and Latin
manuscript evidence and with variants noted in an English-language
critical apparatus. Extensive additional notes are provided to
clarify issues of text, translation, and exegesis. The central
chapters explore major theological themes such as incarnation,
resurrection, and eschatology in the light of related texts within
and beyond the New Testament.
