In this magisterial volume, which is destined to become the
standard test for studying the tradition and history of the early
Christian Gospel literature, the author treats more than a dozen
Gospel writings from the first two centuries. These Gospels include
more than the standard canonical Gospels, covering also such
writings as the Gospel of Thomas, the Apocryphon of James, and the
Gospel of Mary and others. The book is divided into six major
sections. The first examines the origins and meanings of the term
Gospel. Then follows a section on early collections of saying
including, of course, a study of Q. A third section traces the
movement from the dialogue Gospels through narratives about Jesus
to the Gospel of John. Mark, Matthew and Like receive thorough
consideration in the fourth section, followed by an exploration of
the early extant harmonization s of the canonical Gospels (Justin
martyr, Tatian, Epistula Apostolorum, etc.) The concluding section
deals with various Gospel fragments known from papyri and from
casual mentions in the church fathers. Throughout Ancient Christian
Gospels, the author provides all technical information
(attestation, manuscripts, etc.) needed by the scholar, but also
translations of all data, general introductions and explanations in
an effort to make the book accessible and useful for the general
reader. Helmut Koester is John H. Morison Professor of New
Testament and Winn Professor of Ecclesiastical History of Harvard
University and author of the widely used two-volume Introduction to
the New Testament.
