Looking at texts from the Gospels from Nag Hammadi to the Dialogues with the Risen Saviour, Paul Foster shows how the apocryphal gospels reflect the diversity that existed within early Christianity, and examines the extent to which they can be used to reconstruct an accurate portrait of the historical Jesus. Including discussions of controversies and case-studies such as the alleged hoax surrounding the discovery of Secret Mark, Foster concludes that the non-canonical texts, considered in the correct context, offer us an important window on the vibrant and multi-faceted face of early Christianity. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 Apocryphal Gospels. 700 1 Van Dyck, Jennifer. 710 2 hoopla digital. 800 1 Paul, Foster.|tVery Short Introductions.|sSpoken word ; 830 0 Very short introductions ;|v201. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 14245704?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ ttm_9781666141733_180.jpeg
