The Gospel of Pseudo Matthew (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419164385)

The Gospel of Pseudo Matthew is a religious text that presents an account of the life of Jesus Christ. It is believed to have been written in the 7th or 8th century and is attributed to an anonymous author. The text is considered to be a non-canonical gospel, meaning it is not recognized as part of the official canon of the Bible. The Gospel of Pseudo Matthew begins with the story of Mary and Joseph, the parents of Jesus. It recounts the birth of Jesus and his early life, including his baptism by John the Baptist. The text also includes stories of Jesus performing miracles, such as healing the sick and raising the dead. One of the unique aspects of the Gospel of Pseudo Matthew is its inclusion of the childhood of Jesus. It describes Jesus as a child performing miracles, such as bringing clay birds to life and healing his playmates. The text also includes a version of the Nativity story, which differs from the traditional account found in the Bible. In this version, Mary gives birth to Jesus in a cave, and the shepherds who visit the newborn are actually angels in disguise. The Gospel of Pseudo Matthew is an interesting and valuable historical document for scholars of early Christianity. It provides insight into the beliefs and practices of early Christians and offers an alternative perspective on the life of Jesus Christ.After these things, her nine months being fulfilled, Anna brought forth a daughter, and called her Mary. And having weaned her in her third year, Joachim, and Anna his wife, went together to the temple of the Lord to offer sacrifices to God, and placed the infant, Mary by name, in the community of virgins, in which the virgins remained day and night praising God. And when she was put down before the doors of the temple, she went up the fifteen steps (1) so swiftly, that she did not look back at all; nor did she, as children are wont to do, seek for her parents.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
