The Gospel of Peter: Revisiting Jesus' Death and Resurrection (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781983479687)

According to the canonical Gospels, Jesus emerged alive from Joseph's tomb after a brutal and torturous death. However, none of them actually describes what that may have looked like, or what may have been happening in the spiritual realm between his death and resurrection.

Where the other Gospels are silent, another claims to fill in the gaps. In the winter of 1886-87, French archaeologists found a Greek copy of the Gospel of Peter in Egypt. Originally written in Syria late in the second century, this Gospel narrates shocking and spectacular events never before imagined. But why? And what does it all mean? Though it's a straightforward narrative, nevertheless this ancient passion account raises more questions than answers for today's readers.

This volume provides not only two new translations, but the first ever illustrated Greek-English interlinear, reproducing every page in vivid detail.
