5.0 out of 5 stars Essential starting point for study of non-canonical gospels, April 4, 2000
By Stuart Pace (Hayward, CA) - See all my reviews
New Testament Apocrypha provides critically annotated translations of the collected body of extant ancient texts dealing with the life and sayings of Jesus the Nazarene. The revised edition presents, in English, all the essential source material for serious study of early gospel versions. This book, along with its companion volume dealing with apostolic texts, is presented in the best tradition of German scholarship. It is an absolute must for all students of early Christianity and the New Testament.

4.0 out of 5 stars THE definitive guide to sub-New Testament writings., July 25, 2000
In this volume, and its companion, Wilson's English language translation of Schneemelcher's magnum opus, is presented in a most scholarly, critical edition. This book is a must, not only for the serious student of sub-New Testament literature, but also for pastors who wish to be informed as to the highest scholarship in this field.

This volume, dealing with the apocryphal Gospel material, shows clearly Early Church thinking and beliefs concerning the life and ministry of Christ, as well as the views of certain heretical sects. It also provides an insight into early "popular piety" which has played such an important role in the development of the Christian Church.

5.0 out of 5 stars An outstanding scholarly publishing event!, November 13, 2001
By Peter Abelard (11th century Paris, France) - See all my reviews
This book "New Testament Apocrypha: Gospels and Related Writings" is THE definitive scholarly English-language edition of the sub-canonical, post New Testament era gospels and lives of various Gospel personalities.

Each text is expertly translated (with textual variants properly explained) and is preceded by a scholarly introduction discussing issues of critical importance. Appropriate references are also provided, so that the student or researcher has a "jumping-off" point for further study.

Any serious student of the New Testament and post New Testament era cannot affford to be without this text. I highly recommend it.
