This essential collection contains Gospels describing Jesus's infancy, ministry, Passion, and resurrection, as well as the most controversial manuscript discoveries of modern times, including the most significant Gospel discovered in the 20th century--the Gospel of Thomas--and the most recently discovered Gospel, the Gospel of Judas Iscariot. For the first time ever, these sacred manuscripts are featured in the original Greek, Latin, and Coptic languages, accompanied by fresh English translations that appear next to the original texts, allowing for easy line by line comparison. Also, each translation begins with a thoughtful examination of key historical, literary, and textual issues that places each Gospel in its proper context. The end result is a resource that enables anyone interested in Christianity or the early Church to understand--better than ever before--the deeper meanings of these apocryphal Gospels. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Apocryphal Gospels \u003c\/em\u003eis much more than an annotated guide to the Gospels.

This is an indispensable volume for any reader interested in church history, antiquity, ancient languages, or the Christian faith.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bart Ehrman, Zlatko Plese\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0199732108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199732104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/21\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 624\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.30w x 1.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2011 pg. 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/09\/2012 pg. 40","brand":"Bart Ehrman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43988094419199,"sku":"9780199732104","price":61.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_983324d3-2e02-4660-814a-a189cb29cd87.jpg?v=1683292588","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/apocryphal-gospels-bart-ehrman-9780199732104","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
