Rediscovered in modern times, these "non-canonical" gospels,
epistles, and other pieces were excised from the standard Bible by
various church councils in the first four centuries of the
Christian era. Here, among other texts, are writings describing the
girlhood and betrothal of Mary and her life before Christ's birth;
the childhood of Jesus, as described by Peter and Nicodemus; and
the appearance of Christ before the gates of Hell, from whence he
leads Adam and the saints to Paradise.
Translated from the original languages, with 32 illustrations from
ancient paintings and missals, "The Lost Books of the Bible, "
helps give depth to the historical characters of Jesus, Mary, the
apostles, and other figures of the New Testament. Presented without
argument or commentary, these apocryphal texts are fascinating,
often provocative, reading.
An essential resource for the study of biblical history and
theology, this authentic presentation of the "lost" Scriptures can
be enjoyed for its beauty and directness, while also adding to
one's understanding of life in Judea during the first century A.D.
