An important collection of apocryphal and pseudepigraphic texts
from the first and second centuries demonstrating how it is not
only from the Bible that information upon Christianity's origins
can be found. Sixteen texts from the remains of the non-canonical
gospels, some of which originate from the Nag Hammadi library and
only recently made available, communicate stories about Jesus.
Among them are: The Dialogue of the Saviour, Papyrus Oxyrhynchus
840, The Gospel of the Hebrews and The Acts of Pilate. The
collection shows how the memory of Jesus was kept alive in early
Christianity through the communication of such stories and sayings.
With a central focus on the literary aspects of the text, Professor
Cameron reveals in introductions for each gospel, its literary
forms, sources, the original language of the text, the languages in
which the text was preserved, the date and place of composition,
discovery and publication. The gospels are subsequently included;
one text, the translation of the Apocryphon of James, is published
for the first time. As new critical analysis develops to provide
the opportunity to examine the history of the literature, in which
Jesus's traditions were passed on, so the non-canonical texts are
becoming more significant. This selection of 'other' gospels allows
non-canonical texts to be used as primary sources to further
clarify gospel traditions. The Editor: Professor Cameron is a
specialist in form-critical analysis and is Professor of Religion
at Wesleyan University.
