Iscriviti per consentire a LibraryThing di scoprire se ti piacerà questo libro. Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. Reprint of the edition of 1926; Hone's edition orig. publ. 1820. ( ) A good (but older and incomplete) collection of works that did not make it into the Bible. There are many newer works with more up-to-date introductions and more contemporary translations (and additional, more recently discovered books) that I would recommend over this. (Hone died in 1842). Depending on your interests [The Other Bible], [The Gnostic Bible], [The Nag Hammadi Library in English], [The Nag Hammadi Scriptures], or [The Complete Gospels] will serve you better. (If you wish to read every scrap of literature that did not appear in the Bible then read [Old Testament Apocrypha], [Old Testament Pseudepigrapha], [New Testament Apocrypha] (2 vols.) by [[Schneemelcher]] supplemented by [The Tchacos Codex].) Good for its time but there are more readable (and more complete) books than this one. -Kushana nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Rediscovered in modern times, these "non-canonical" gospels, epistles, and other pieces were excised from the standard Bible by various church councils in the first four centuries of the Christian era. Here, among other texts, are writings describing the girlhood and betrothal of Mary and her life before Christ's birth; the childhood of Jesus, as described by Peter and Nicodemus; and the appearance of Christ before the gates of Hell, from whence he leads Adam and the saints to Paradise. Translated from the original languages, with 32 illustrations from ancient paintings and missals, The Lost Books of the Bible, helps give depth to the historical characters of Jesus, Mary, the apostles, and other figures of the New Testament. Presented without argument or commentary, these apocryphal texts are fascinating, often provocative, reading. An essential resource for the study of biblical history and theology, this authentic presentation of the "lost" Scriptures can be enjoyed for its beauty and directness, while also adding to one's understanding of life in Judea during the first century A.D.
