Broaden the scope of your New Testament studies with this
introduction to early Christian apocryphal literature. To
understand the New Testament well, it is important to study the
larger world surrounding it, and one of the primary avenues for
this exploration is through reading related ancient texts. But this
task is daunting for scholars and novices alike given the sheer
size of the ancient literary corpora. The Ancient Literature for
New Testament Studies series aims to bridge this gap by introducing
the key ancient texts that form the cultural, historical, and
literary context for the study of the New Testament. Early New
Testament Apocrypha offers an entry point into the corpus of early
Christian apocryphal literature through twenty-eight texts or
groups of texts. While the majority of the texts fall within the
first four centuries CE, and therefore are useful for uncovering
the earliest interpretations assigned to the New Testament, select
later texts serve as reminders of how the meanings of New Testament
texts continued to develop in subsequent centuries. Each essay
covers introductory matters, a summary of content, interpretive
issues, key passages for New Testament studies and their
significance, and a select bibliography. Whether you are a scholar
looking to familiarize yourself with a new corpus of texts or a
novice seeking to undertake a serious contextualized study of the
New Testament, this is an ideal reference work for you. Essays and
contributors include: Part 1: Apocryphal Gospels Agrapha, Andrew
Gregory Fragments of Gospels on Papyrus, Tobias Nicklas Gospel of
Barnabas, Philip Jenkins Gospel of Peter, Paul Foster Infancy

Martin SERIES DESCRIPTION: Ancient Literature for New Testament
Studies is a 10-volume series that introduces key ancient texts
that form the cultural, historical, and literary context for the
study of the New Testament. Each volume features introductory
essays to the corpus, followed by articles on the relevant texts.
Each article will address introductory matters, provenance, summary
of content, interpretive issues, key passages for New Testament
studies and their significance, and a select bibliography. Neither
too technical to be used by students nor too thin on interpretive
information to be useful for serious study of the New Testament,
this series provides a much-needed resource for understanding the
New Testament in its Jewish, Greco-Roman, and early Christian
contexts. Produced by an international team of leading experts in
each corpus, Ancient Literature for New Testament Studies stands to
become the standard resource for both scholars and students.
How ought we to live? What really exists? How do we know? This Very
Short Introduction discusses some of the key questions philosophy
engages with. Edward Craig explores important themes in ethics, and
the nature of knowledge and the self, through readings from Plato,
Hume, Descartes, Hegel, Darwin, and Buddhist writers. Throughout,
he emphasizes why we do phiilosophy, explains how different areas
of philosophy are related, and explores the contexts in which
philosophy was and is done. This new edition includes a new chapter
on free will, discussing determinism and indeterminism in the
context of Descartes and Hegel's work. Craig also covers the
Problem of Evil, and Kant's argument on the source of moral
obligation. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series
from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost
every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to
get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine
