Any serious student of Christian History or New Testament Studies cannot afford to go without adding these two volumes to their personal library. Each volume of the New Testament Apocrypha features a scholarly introduction to each apocryphal work, a careful translation of its original text with explanations on textual variants and a detailed sketch on the critical issues surrounding the text. Pertinent information about the numerous Gospels (The Gospel of Thomas, The Gospel of Peter and Gospel of Mary, etc.) are included, as are the numerous apocalypses (First & Second Apocalypse of James, Apocalypse of Paul, etc.), in addition to all available fragments of Christian Gospels that were found in Egyptian papyri.
