Lost Scriptures offers an anthology of up-to-date and readable translations of many non-canonical writings from the first centuries after Christ - texts that have been for the most part lost or neglected for almost two millennia." "Lost Scriptures gives readers a vivid picture of the range of beliefs that battled each other in the first centuries of the Christian era. It is an essential resource for anyone interested in the Bible or the early Church."--BOOK JACKET. 0aApocryphal books (New Testament)1 aEhrman, Bart D.2 aebrary, Inc. 2ddccAM 00102ddc407087aMAINbMAINcOPENd2017-03-22eTaborl0o229.92 LOSp17606r2017-03-22 00:00:00t1w2017-03-22yAM
