Publisher's Synopsis
Coptic Apocryphal Gospels: Translations Together With The Texts Of Some Of Them is a book written by James Robinson and Montague Rhodes James Forbes, first published in 1896. The book is a collection of translations of various apocryphal gospels that were written in Coptic, a language used by early Christians in Egypt. The book includes translations of the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Mary, the Gospel of the Egyptians, and several other texts. Each translation is accompanied by the original Coptic text, as well as notes and commentary by the authors. The apocryphal gospels included in the book were not considered part of the official canon of the Christian Bible, but were still influential in early Christian communities. They offer different perspectives on the life of Jesus and his teachings, and provide insight into the beliefs and practices of early Christians. Overall, Coptic Apocryphal Gospels: Translations Together With The Texts Of Some Of Them is a valuable resource for scholars of early Christianity and those interested in the history of the Christian faith.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
