Attributed to the Apostles & their Disciples. BANNED - after violent disputes by Bishops. SENSATIONAL - Joseph's shock at girl in his care pregnant DISCOVER - Jesus as a child makes clay animals & birds walk, fly & eat, He is taken as a sorcerer OUTRAGE - Jesus causes those he dislikes to die. "we will not allow him to go out; for everyone who displeases him is killed." REVEALED - Joseph is bad carpenter.

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.

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.
