There they were given the simple designation P22220 and stored unceremoniously in paper folders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlmost thirty years later, two American scholars working independently of each other--Charles Hedrick and Paul Mirecki--began to study these forgotten fragments. What they found were pieces of a previously unknown gospel, a gospel composed perhaps in the second century and written down sometime between the fourth and seventh centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis new gospel text contains sayings of a speaker identified as \"the savior\" and dialogues between the savior and \"the apostles.\" While it shares some sayings with the canonical gospels, there are remarkable additions: To the familiar \"You are the salt of the earth\" (Matt 5:13), for example, is added the phrase \"you are the fire that illuminates the world\"--a saying unknown in the canonical gospels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this first-ever publication of The Gospel of the Savior, the scholars who discovered and reconstructed it provide a translation and critical original language text, along with illuminating introduction, commentary, and Coptic\/Greek indices. This volume also includes complete facsimile reproductions of the fragments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles W. Hedrick, Paul A.
