The Acts of Pilate and Descent of Christ to Hades are important Christian apocryphal texts that reflect early traditions about Jesus' trial, death, and resurrection outside the New Testament canon. Though not canonical, they illuminate early Christian beliefs and provide valuable reading material for students.

This reader presents the original Greek text alongside detailed footnotes for every word appearing 20 times or less in the New Testament. Each footnote offers lexical information, part of speech, and contextual glosses to support vocabulary acquisition and comprehension.

In addition to the Greek text (from Tischendorf), this volume includes a lightly modernized English translation from Alexander Walker's edition in the Ante-Nicene Fathers series, plus a comprehensive Greek-English glossary of all footnoted terms.

Ideal for New Testament Greek learners looking to deepen their reading skills with authentic ancient texts closely related to the biblical corpus.
