Title: THE OTHER GOSPELS. Non-Canonical Gospel Texts.
Description: Philadelphia, The Westminster Press, 1982. 192 pp. Pb. This collection of apocryphal and pseudipigraphic texts from the first and second centuries, demonstrates how it is not only from the Bible that information upon Christianity's origins can be found. Sixteen texts from the remains of the non-canonical gospels, some of which originate from the Nag Hammadi library and which only recently were made available, communicate stories about Jesus. With a central focus on the literary aspects of the text, Cameron provides introductions for each gospel, in which he reveals their literary forms, sources, the original language of the text, the languages in which the text was preserved, the date and place of composition, discovery and publication. The gospels are subsequently included; one text (the translation of the Apocryphon of James) is published for the first time. Cover shows edgewear. Otherwise nice and clean copy.
