Greek Apocryphal Gospels, Fragments, and Agrapha: A New Translation

By Rick Brannan and Peter the Apostle

A fascinating insight into the rival religious communities of the early Christian church.

These apocryphal texts open a window to understanding the rival religious communities which coexisted with the early church. Written after the ministry of Christ and the apostles, these collections of writings contain stories about Jesus that were never part of the canonical Gospels, but nevertheless offer a fascinating glimpse into the world of the early church. These translations by Rick Brannan are perfect for use by students, scholars, and everyday Christians interested in early Christian apocrypha.
