Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“This excellent introduction to Christian apocryphal literature will be of use not only to scholars and students of the Bible and Christianity but to the general public as well. In particular, Burke is to be thanked for his convincing response to some unfortunate misrepresentations of early Christian apocrypha that have recently appeared in popular fiction and apologetic literature. Anyone looking for a historically reliable description of Christian apocrypha and their significance would do well to read this book.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“This book is a major contribution to the study of early Christianity. It is now the ‘go-to’ book for the Protevangelium of James, an important and often overlooked early Christian text from the later second-century that, among other things, laid the foundations for Marian devotion. And this is much more than a translation: Prof. Vuong provides an extensive, illuminating introduction and detailed commentary for nearly every aspect of the text.”
