Bart Ehrman--the New York Times bestselling author of Misquoting Jesus and a recognized authority on the early Christian Church--and Zlatko Plese here offer a groundbreaking, multi-lingual edition of the Apocryphal Gospels, one that breathes new life into the non-canonical texts that were once nearly lost to history. In The Apocryphal Gospels, Ehrman and Plese present a rare compilation of over 40 ancient gospel texts and textual fragments that do not appear in the New Testament. This essential collection contains Gospels describing Jesus's infancy, ministry, Passion, and resurrection, as well as the most controversial manuscript discoveries of modern times, including the most significant Gospel discovered in the 20th century--the Gospel of Thomas--and the most recently discovered Gospel, the Gospel of Judas Iscariot. For the first time ever, these sacred manuscripts are featured in the original Greek, Latin, and Coptic languages, accompanied by fresh English translations that appear next to the original texts, allowing for easy line by line comparison. Also, each translation begins with a thoughtful examination of key historical, literary, and textual issues that places each Gospel in its proper context. The end result is a resource that enables anyone interested in Christianity or the early Church to understand--better than ever before--the deeper meanings of these apocryphal Gospels. The Apocryphal Gospels is much more than an annotated guide to the Gospels. Through its authoritative use of both native text and engaging, accurate translations, it provides an unprecedented look at early Christianity and the New Testament. This is an indispensable volume for any reader interested in church history, antiquity, ancient languages, or the Christian faith.

****Brill Translation of the Gospel of Thomas into English by Schoedel et al. may be the finest gift in the memory of Didymus the Blind, an ardent critic of Gnostic writings, revered as an eminent Christian scholar of the fourth century. Didymus ancient Bible commentaries, discovered in Tourah, in Egypt initiated Bart Ehrman career in textual criticism, with his study of the Gospel texts quoted by Didymus of his prodigious memory.Bart Ehrman, the New York Times best selling author, and a recognized authority on the early non canonical Christian writings, with Zlatko Plese, a scholar of Ancient religions, offer a grass roots, Bi-lingual edition with an English translation of the Apocryphal Gospels, one that breathes new life into the Apocryphal texts that were mainly recovered half a century ago in Chenoboskion, after being mostly lost.This is an affordable, single-volume collection of apocryphal gospels, a remarkable handy work. It includes Infancy Gospels; Sayings, Resurrection and Post-Resurrection Gospels, does include the the Gospels of Thomas and Mary but no other Coptic gospels from Chenoboskion (Nag Hammadi) or the Berlin Codex. The Gospel of Judas from the Tchacos Codex, has been included, a translation based on the Kasser-Wurst critical edition. It does not yet take into account the 'Ohio fragments'. The primary language texts are on the face pages, whether Coptic or Greek, with the English translation on the opposite side.There are brief introductions to each text, which help orienting the readers to some of the main issues of each text, with some few footnotes on critical textual issues.
