Biblical Apocrypha: The Dispute of the Judeo-Christian World (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781912461189)

Explore the lost texts and theological tensions behind the making of the Bible.

The term Apocrypha refers to ancient writings-gospels, letters, and epistles-that were excluded from the official canon of the Bible. These texts, while once widely read and respected in early Christian and Jewish communities, were ultimately left out of the standardised Scriptures due to theological, political, or doctrinal disputes.

Biblical Apocrypha - The Dispute of the Judeo-Christian World presents a revised and comprehensive collection of these controversial writings. From Lost Gospels and forbidden texts to early epistles and letters, this volume invites the reader to examine religious contradictions, explore lesser-known interpretations of biblical history, and uncover the deeper roots of theological division within the Judeo-Christian tradition.

Inside you'll find:
- A curated collection of apocryphal and deuterocanonical texts
- Gospels and writings excluded from the biblical canon
- Insights into early Christianity, Judaic traditions, and scriptural formation
- An accessible look at the historical dispute over what was deemed sacred-and what was not

Ideal for students of theology, religious history, biblical studies, and anyone curious about the lost and hidden writings of the ancient world.
