Synopsis

"The Forgotten Gospels" are the most significant texts relating to Christianity outside the New Testament in terms of their early date, their otherwise unknown evidence on, and their perception of Jesus and Christianity. It has long been acknowledged that important, informative and illuminating writings about the life and teachings of Jesus were omitted from the New Testament canon. Tim Newton has gathered together the key texts - newly translated from the Greek, Latin, Hebrew, Slavonic and Coptic - and written clear, concise and perceptive explanations of their origins and relevance. Together these comprise the historian's best resource to supplement the story of Jesus, his teachings and the beginnings of Christianity, as contained in the New Testament.
