  • "Presents for the first time all twenty of the known gospels from the early Christian era, offering a fuller picture of early Christian origins than found in any other source. Each offers fresh glimpses into the world of Jesus and his followers, including: The Gospel of Thomas reveals Jesus as a wisdom teacher; Gospels of Mary suggest that women held a prominent role in the early church; Sayings Gospels Q, the controversial reconstruction of the first gospel used by Jesus' original followers, contains only Jesus' sayings and none of the dramatic stories about his life later told in the New Testament gospels; the Signs Gospel is almost entirely a catalog of miracles, intended to demonstrate that he was the Jewish Messiah; the Secret Book of James relates that immediately prior to his ascension, Jesus imparted a private revelation to James and Peter; the Gospel of Peter contains what may have been the original passion narrative.--From publisher description."
  • "Narrative gospels -- Sayings gospels -- Infancy gospels -- Fragmentary gospels -- Jewish Christian gospels -- Orphan sayings and other stories."
  • "The Complete Gospels is the first publication ever to collect the canonical gospels and their extracanonical counterpoints under one cover. The selected extracanonical gospels date from the first and second centuries, are independent of the canonical gospels, and significantly contribute to our understanding of the developments in the Jesus tradition leading up to and surrounding the New Testament gospels. Two additional texts, the Gospel of Judas and the Gospel of the Savior, and a new text of Q are found in this fourth edition. Each gospel begins with an introduction that sets the text in its ancient and historical contexts and discusses the overall structure and central themes. Cross references point out the numerous parallel passages, intratextual indicators, and thematic parallels so the reader can see how the individual passages of a gospel fit into the rich tapestry of Jewish and early Christian texts. Notes explain important translation issues, supply necessary background information, offer guidance to difficult passages, and honestly indicate problems in the text or in our understanding of them. -- Description from http://www.booktopia.com.au (Oct. 3, 2013)."
