Forbidden Books of the Original New Testament

De: William Wake

Narrado por: James Walmsley

In the early centuries of Christianity (first to fourth century), the composition of the Bible was not fixed, as letters and manuscript were often kept separate, and different communities had different collections of texts. Many letters and sermons of the nascent Christian church in the first few centuries were persevered, even though they were not included in the New Testament.

The most prominent of these historical documents are included in this collection by William Wake (d. 1737). The collection includes the following works:

1. The Gospel of the Birth of Mary
2. The Gospel Called the Protevangelion
3. The First Gospel of the Infancy of Jesus Christ
4. The Second, or St. Thomas' Gospel of the Infancy of Jesus Christ

6. The Epistles of Jesus Christ and Abgarus King of Edessa
7. The Epistle of St. Paul the Apostle to the Laodiceans
