Reading Christian Apocrypha: Tradition, Interpretation, Practice

by Jens Schröter, Tobias Nicklas, Janet Spittler, et al.

Christian apocrypha has suffered neglect. Living just outside the Christian canon, apocryphal Christian works have been judged deficient, secret, and even heretical. In Reading Christian Apocrypha, Tobias Nicklas, Jens Schr?ter, and Janet Spittler lavish attention upon these extracanonical texts to demonstrate that, far from being superfluous or fringe, Christian apocrypha plays a crucial role in the history of Christianity.
