Ancient Gospel or Modern Forgery?
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“The debate over the Secret Gospel of Mark rages on. Did Morton Smith discover this text, or did he forge it? This terrific collection of essays presents leading voices from both sides of the controversy, stating their views, marshaling their evidence, and allowing readers to pass their own verdicts.”
Apostolic Letters of Faith, Hope, and Love
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Bruce Metzger is one of the world's great biblical scholars. His books on the text and canon of the New Testament are the most authoritative and influential of modern times. He is also a sensitive interpreter of the early Christian writings, as is now evident in this publication of his lectures on 'Faith, Hope, and Love.' All readers are in his debt for these clear and insightful comments on three of the most important, and relevant, books of the New Testament.”

“God's Monsters is a hilarious treatment of a horrifying topic. With deep intelligence, literary flair, and wicked wit, Esther Hamori pulls no punches in exposing the terrors of the Bible and the multitudinous divine creatures that inhabit it--including the Almighty himself. For those of us who believe in brutal honesty and in fighting horror with humor, this book is a godsend.”

“Finally, a book that trumpets the return of the apocalyptic Jesus! Allison mounts a powerful counterattack against those who have spurned the view ... that Jesus expected an imminent transformation in history as we know it.... Allison has produced a persuasive argument that will not be easily overturned and must not be ignored.”
New Testament Apocrypha, vol. 1
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“In this masterful volume we find that greatest of rarities—a collection of ancient texts scarcely known (let alone studied) by scholars of Christian antiquity. With these fresh translations of some thirty apocryphal works, each with a gratifyingly full introduction and bibliography, Burke, Landau, and all the contributors have provided us with a rigorous but highly accessible volume that will long prove to be a scholarly vade mecum.”
New Testament Apocrypha, vol. 3
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“A rigorous but highly accessible volume that will long prove to be a scholarly vade mecum.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Tony Burke has long established himself as a master of the Christian apocrypha, writings that did not make it into the New Testament. With Secret Scriptures Revealed he has made his massive knowledge of the field available to a broad general audience in a readable, informed, and enjoyable overview that will be long cherished by both beginners and devotees.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Although the Infancy Gospel of Thomas has long been enjoyed by readers interested in the Gospels that did not make it into the New Testament, there has been a dearth of scholarship on most of the pressing textual, historical, and theological issues it raises. Reidar Aasgaard has done the scholarly world a real service by presenting a full, interesting, and informed discussion of all these major questions. Scholars will now turn to this study before any other when they want to explore the Infancy Gospel and its traditions.”
The Framework of the Story of Jesus
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Karl Ludwig Schmidt’s revolutionary work helped transform the entire discipline of New Testament studies, but it has never been available to the English-reading public. Byron McCane has performed an enormous service to our field by producing an accessible and highly readable translation that reveals the true genius of this classic text.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Marvin Meyer can justly be considered the premier translator of ancient Gnostic writings in North America and one of the world's leading experts on the Gospel of Judas. Now he provides a vivid and compelling translation of this most important text along with an insightful introduction and copious notes. Most intriguing of all, he narrates a theatrical engagement with issues that emerge from recent reflections on the world's most infamous and intriguing 'villain,' Judas Iscariot. This is intense scholarship and creative imagination at the highest level.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“You can read hundreds of books on the Gospels and find little new and nothing groundbreaking. This book is groundbreaking. In a learned, broad-ranging, and compelling study, Mills uncovers the earliest understanding of the Gospels that is, remarkably, unknown to the scholarly world at large.”
