North American study of the Christian Apocrypha is known
principally for its interest in using noncanonical texts to
reconstruct the life and teachings of Jesus, and for its support of
Walter Bauer's theory on the development of early Christianity. The
papers in this volume, presented in September 2013 at York
University in Toronto, challenge that simplistic assessment by
demonstrating that U.S. and Canadian scholarship on the Christian
Apocrypha is rich and diverse. The topics covered in the papers
include new developments in the study of canon formation, the
interplay of Christian Apocrypha and texts from the Nag Hammadi
library, digital humanities resources for reconstructing apocryphal
texts, and the value of studying late-antique apocrypha. Among the
highlights of the collection are papers from a panel by three
celebrated New Testament scholars reassessing the significance of
the Christian Apocrypha for the study of the historical Jesus.
Forbidden Texts on the Western Frontier demonstrates the depth and
breadth of Christian Apocrypha studies in North America and offers
a glimpse at the achievements that lie ahead in the field.
