The Lost Bible provides a fascinating introduction to sacred writings of great profundity and aesthetic merit that did not become part of the canons of the Jewish and Christian Bibles. The reader is introduced to a wide selection of these extraordinary and beautiful lost works from words considered to be those of prophets, kings, and patriarchs (even Adam himself) to legends and stories that supply missing parts of the Gospel. For each work, a commentary is followed by a translated extract in clear and up-to-date language.
