Forbidden Books Of The Original New Testament: Illustrated (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781716987458)

In the early centuries of Christianity (1st-4th century) the composition of the Bible was not fixed, as letters and manuscript were often kept separate, and different communities had different collections of texts. Many letters and sermons of the nascent Christian church in the first few centuries were persevered, even though they were not included in the New Testament. The most prominent of these historical documents are included in this reference collection by William Wake (d. 1737). The collection includes: Mary, Protevangelion of James, Infancy of Jesus Christ, the acts of Nicodemus, extra letters of St. Paul, and many others. This is a reproduction of "The forbidden books of the original New Testament of Jesus Christ: and other portions of the ancient holy scriptures, now extant, attributed to his apostles, and their diciples ... forbidden by the Bishops of the Noicene Council ..., " London: T. Owen, 1878. by William Wake (1657-1737)". To this book have been added images of early Christian artwork of the saints mentioned in the text.
