Publisher's summary

The Gospel of Nicodemus, otherwise known as the Acts of Pilate (Acta Pilati) is not assumed to have been written by Pilate, but rather to have been compiled from the official acts which were preserved in the praetorium at Jerusalem. The original is said to have been written by Nicodemus in Hebrew. The work gained a wide readership in the Middle Ages, with its popularity shown by the number of languages and versions in which it exists. 

Currently, there are known copies in Greek, Coptic, Armenian and Latin. These Acts are composed of three sections. The first section relates to the trial of Jesus and is similar to Luke 23. The second part regards the Resurrection. Then, in the third part, Christ's Descent into Hell (Descensus ad Infernos), for which there is no known Greek text. In it, Leucius and Charinus, two souls who are raised from the dead after the Crucifixion, tell the Sanhedrin the circumstances of the descent of Christ into Limbo.

Very Enlightening

Unlike the Bible, for me, It was much more believable. Not to say that everything in the Bible is a lie but everything in the Bible is also not true. This is something I believe wholeheartedly. Not to offend anyone to each his own these are my beliefs. I very much appreciate the elaboration put forth in this book. iIf you haven’t read it you really should.

Wow. What a splendid surprise

A hidden gem or ancient extra biblical literature. The last section is a fascinating account of the “Harrowing of Hades.”

Awesome!

I loved this book. It is a continuing of things that happened after King Jeshua was killed. Confirmed the people raised to life a experience with Jeshua in hell! Explained how Lazarus was released from hell! Just awesome and EYE OPENING!
