Sometimes these texts complemented the four canonical gospels, sometimes they subverted them and often they were completely different. We hear the young Jesus making live birds from clay, words of wisdom collected by his disciples, details of his trial, gnostic cosmologies, strange angels and the Harrowing of Hell. Often kept secret by their readers and frequently attacked by their detractors, these gospels shine a fascinating light on the early Christian Church and its surprising manifestations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon Gathercole\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0241340551\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780241340554\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/10\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.37h x 4.58w x 0.83d","brand":"Simon Gathercole","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994679410943,"sku":"9780241340554","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_74c86499-edcd-4d2b-bca2-05d43996fef9.jpg?v=1683331559","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-apocryphal-gospels-simon-gathercole-9780241340554","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
