Rating:
Summary: Carefully classifying apocryphal material in helpful ways
Review: Also available in a hardcover edition, Apocryphal Gospels: An Introduction by Hans-Josef Klauk (Professor of New Testament and Early Christian Literature, University of Chicago), Apocryphal Gospels: An Introduction guides readers through the writings about Jesus Christ that are not included within the Church's canon of scripture. Carefully classifying apocryphal material in helpful ways, Apocryphal Gospels summarizes each gospel in a manner immediately accessible to lay readers, and offers contemplations on the significance of each a bibliography for those looking to learn more. A superb primer for anyone curious about the texts deliberately left out of the New Testament.
