Throughout history, Christians have expressed their faith through
story. They created texts featuring important early Christian
figures - like Jesus, Peter, Paul, Mary Magdalene, and Judas - to
express their relationships to God and to the world around them.
Some of these texts are found in today's New Testament, but there
is a wide assortment of other texts that are not included in the
Bible. This book offers readers a guide to the Christian Apocrypha,
beginning with a description of scholars' efforts to recover and
reconstruct the texts, followed by examinations of a number of key
texts. It responds to a number of misconceptions and common
questions about the Apocrypha and finishes with a discussion of the
enduring value of the Christian Apocrypha.
