They preserve traditions in which: \u003cbr\u003e- Resurrection is portrayed as cosmic rather than private\u003cbr\u003e- Christ is presented as transcendent and revelatory\u003cbr\u003e- Scripture is treated as a doorway rather than a boundary\u003cbr\u003e- Spiritual authority exists without institutional ownership \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRather than arguing for belief, these texts invite readers to \u003cb\u003esee how diverse the earliest Jesus movement truly was\u003c\/b\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor readers of early Christian history, apocryphal gospels, Gnostic traditions, and spiritual seekers interested in voices beyond the canon, this volume offers both scholarship and accessibility in one place.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ald,Ruah Selene Kadesh-Vale,Mark M.
