PRODUCT REVIEW<\/h2>\n

We may think of the twenty-seven books of the New Testament as the only sacred writings of the early Christians, but this is not at all the case. Lost Scriptures offers an anthology of up-to-date and readable translations of many non-canonical writings from the first centuries after Christ\u2013texts that have been for the most part lost or neglected for almost two millennia.<\/p>\n

Here is an array of remarkably varied writings from early Christian groups whose visions of Jesus differ dramatically from our contemporary understanding. Readers will find Gospels supposedly authored by the apostle Philip, James the brother of Jesus<\/a>, Mary Magdalen, and others. There are Acts originally ascribed to John and to Thecla, Paul\u2019s female companion; there are Epistles allegedly written by Paul<\/a> to the Roman philosopher Seneca. And there is an apocalypse by Simon Peter<\/a> that offers a guided tour of the afterlife, both the glorious ecstasies of the saints and the horrendous torments of the damned, and an Epistle by Titus, a companion of Paul, which argues page after page against sexual love, even within marriage, on the grounds that physical intimacy leads to damnation. In all, the anthology includes fifteen Gospels, five non-canonical Acts of the Apostles, thirteen Epistles, a number of Apocalypes and Secret Books, and several Canon lists. Ehrman has included a general introduction, plus brief introductions to each piece.<\/p>\n

Lost Scriptures gives readers a vivid picture of the range of beliefs that battled each other in the first centuries of the Christian era. It is an essential resource for anyone interested in the Bible or the early Church.<\/p>\n

\u201cFresh authoritative translations of the texts that fell outside in the canon.\u201d\u2013Christian Science Monitor<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cA companion to Lost Christianities, this volume provides substantial selections from over three dozen of the Gospels, Acts, Epistles, Apocalypses and revelatory treatises not included in the New Testament canon, but which reveal the diverse and competing forms of early Christianity. Ehrman\u2019s introductions helpfully situate the documents in their presumed original settings. An invaluable collection of texts for both students of early Christianity and general readers.\u201d\u2013Elizabeth A. Clark, John Carlisle Kilgo Professor, Duke University<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cLost Scriptures provides a good sample of the literature and illustrates nicely the complex and often exotic world of second- and third-century Christianity\u2026. The texts presented in Ehrman\u2019s anthology and his incisive analyses of them constitute a solid contribution to showing the diversity of thought and practice within early Christianity.\u201d\u2013America<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
