In this reader-friendly guide, Markus Bockmuehl offers a
sympathetic account of the ancient apocryphal Gospel writings,
showing their place within the reception history and formation of
what was to become the canonical fourfold Gospel. Bockmuehl begins
by helping readers understand the early history behind these
noncanonical Gospels before going on to examine dozens of specific
apocryphal texts. He explores the complex oral and intertextual
relationships between the noncanonical and canonical Gospels,
maintaining that it is legitimate and instructive to read the
apocryphal writings as an engagement with the person of Jesus that
both presupposes and supplements the canonical narrative outline.
Appropriate for pastors and nonspecialists, this work offers a
fuller understanding of these writings and their significance for
biblical interpretation in the church.
