The Apocryphal Jesus - Legends of the Early Church (Abridged, Paperback, Abridged edition)

  • Abridged version of The Apocryphal New Testament (1993) specially adapted for students

These are among the fascinating stories found here. They all come from early Christian legends which were not accepted as part of the Canon, yet have had a profound influence on art, literature, and theology from the second century through the Middle Ages and even modern times.
