Opis

The purpose of this work is to review that which 35 apocryphal texts state about Jesus and to do so for various reasons. One reason is that some people have the idea that such apocryphal text, by any other name such as alternate gospels, portray Jesus in very different terms than does the New Testament or subsequent Christian theology. Such ideas are promulgated largely by pop-researchers and popularizers of Gnosticism, zeitgeist-style theorists, Jesus mythicists, et al. Each section concludes with a "Score" wherein is given a succinct review of that which the text stated in agreement with the New Testament and what "unique features" it contained. Additionally, an appendix lists 210 citations to texts that reference Jesus from within the first two centuries AD.
