The Unwritten Gospel: Ana and Agrapha of Jesus (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781026067352)

"The Unwritten Gospel, Ana and Agrapha of Jesus" is a scholarly exploration of the oral traditions and non-canonical sayings attributed to Jesus Christ. This work focuses on the "Agrapha"-sayings that are not recorded in the four canonical Gospels but were preserved in other ancient texts, papyri, and the writings of early Church fathers. Roderic Dunkerley meticulously collects and analyzes these fragments to offer a more comprehensive view of the teachings and character of Jesus as understood by the earliest Christian communities.

The volume also investigates the "Ana," or anecdotes and traditions that circulated alongside the written scriptures. By examining these extra-biblical sources, Dunkerley provides valuable insights into the historical development of Christian doctrine and the preservation of oral history. This book is a significant contribution to biblical criticism and New Testament studies, offering readers a window into the rich, complex world of early Christian belief before the formalization of the biblical canon. It serves as an essential resource for theologians, historians, and anyone interested in the foundational mysteries of the Christian faith.
