The Acts of John is here rescued from a long history of censorship
and extensive editing that sought to whitewash aspects of the text
that had become uncomfortable for later generations of the church.
Although several tantalizing tales are now lost, what remains is a
compelling story of the convert Drusiana, who was twice the victim
of lust-once from her husband, who imprisoned her in a tomb, and
later from an outsider, whose love sickness drove her to the tomb.
This study edition features a detailed introduction that sorts out
the complicated manuscript tradition together with cross references
and notes on sources that enable in-depth study. The Early
Christian Apocrypha series offers fresh new translations of the
major apocryphal Acts that survive from the early period of the
Christian church. These non-canonical writings are crucial for
determining the complex history of Christian origins. Each text
comes with cross-references, notes, and commentary. An extensive
introduction also sets out the challenge of recovering and
reconstructing the original text.
