Lost Books of the Bible and the Forgotten Books of Eden (Paperback) Thomas Nelson

Though apocryphal in nature--many of them suppressed by the early Church Fathers--these forgotten books, gospels, testaments, and epistles are fascinating and beautifully written.

Included in this volume are:

• Apocryphal gospel accounts, such as The Gospel of the Birth of Mary, Thomas's Gospel of the Infancy of Christ, and Peter's Gospel.
• Apocryphal epistles, such as Paul's letter to the Laodiceans, Clement's letter to the Corinthians, and the general epistles of Barnabas.
• Letters from Ignatius to groups of early Christians, including the Ephesians, the Romans, and the Trallians.
• The early 2^nd century Christian work, The Shepherd of Hermas.
• Roman letters and reports from Herod and Pilate.
• Fables from Old Testament times, such as The Books of Adam and Eve, The Secrets of Enoch, and the Psalms of Solomon.
• Historical accounts, including the fourth book of the Maccabees.
• and more...

Included before each book are some notes on its origins. Also included are frequent black-and-white images of etchings from early manuscripts.
