Free The Infancy Gospels Of James And Thomas: With Introduction, Notes, And Original Text Featuring The New Scholars Version Translation (Scholars Bible) Ebooks Online
The infancy gospels reflect the early Christian interest in how Jesus was born and raised. The Infancy Gospel of James narrates the story of Mary, mother of Jesus—her birth, infancy and childhood, up to her pregnancy. The Infancy Gospel of Thomas recounts stories depicting Jesus as a petulant child prodigy. Featuring the acclaimed Scholars Version translation side-by-side with the original Greek texts, this dual language edition makes the infancy gospels readily available and truly accessible for the first time ever.

I found the work quite interesting. I focused more on the text rather than the extra notes provided by the author. Based on their length, I can understand one reason why these two works did not qualify for biblical inclusion. In addition, The Infancy Book of Thomas revealed human weakness in a child with devine infinite power and knowledge. Unfortunately a dark immature side was uncovered. Though refreshing it was for myself, I'm sure showing the dark side of an understandingly immature yet omnipotent child did not sit well with the early church. I enjoyed the work and would recommend it to others interested in the subject.
The infancy gospels known as Protoevangelium Iacobi and infancy gospel of Thomas are of crucial interest for any historian of art. From the Chora-Monastery in Constantinople to the Cappella Palatina in Padua we see familiar scenes of the life of the Virgin Mary. Scenes not told in the canonical gospels, but nonetheless alive during all the centuries. This edition comes with the original text in Greek, along with a critical apparatus and is thus a very useful tool for further interpretations.
THIS IS A NICE VOLUME WITH TEXTS IN GREEK, AND ENGLISH TRANSLATION! THE PRINT COULD HAVE BEEN MADE LARGER, BUT IT IS READABLE. INTRODUCTION AND NOTES ARE MOST VALUABLE. WHAT IS MISSING IS A FULL GLOSSARY OF THE GREEK WORDS AND THEIR TRANSLATION. BUT A EXCELLENT BUY!!
one of the best ms on the virgin birth the story is fantastic fills in the story between Matthew and luke what a fine. pastor L. Blancher
Very intresting to read, some of it unbelievable but not necessary for your faith. I can see why it was not included in the bible.
I wanted this just for my sake to know what it said. I found that they agree with the new Testament as we have it today.
