Apocryphal Gospels by Simon Gathercole

Explore accounts of Jesus and his followers outside the New Testament with this Penguin Classics anthology. Simon Gathercole translates, introduces and contextualizes noncanonical gospel writings, including texts associated with Thomas, Mary and Judas.

The collection offers a way into the variety of early Christian storytelling and belief, while also including two modern forgeries for comparison. Gathercole is the editor and translator, not the author of the ancient texts. Paperback; ISBN 9780241340554.
