1.0 out of 5 stars
not much help,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Apocryphal Acts of Peter: Magic, Miracles and Gnosticism (Studies on Early Christian Apocrypha) (Mass Market Paperback)
There is not much out there on this subject, which makes this book is a disappointment. It is a collection of essays, including many written by Hungarian scholars and translated into English. In some cases, the English translation appears rough and hurried, and one gets the sense the original essayist's meaning is somewhat obscured. One chapter is written entirely in French. This is a handsome volume, and nicely laid out, and it does supply a need for a work on the apocryphal acts of Peter; but as to content there is much here that is obscure and forgettable. Not counting the chapter in French and the index, this is a 191-page paperback which offers little help at an enormous price.
