This gospel picture of early traditions and Christian origins gives the reader a fresh and exciting glimpse into the world of Jesus and his followers. Informative and highly-readable introductions, essays, notes, and annotations make this work a remarkably comprehensive one-volume library of all gospel texts.

Note: These books are called gospels not as a value judgment about their spiritual worth, but because they were called gospels by their ancient copyists and readers.
This book is one of the few contemporary translations of many of these texts. A useful reminder that the past was not tidy or pat.
(For the technical version of this sort of collection, see the New Testament Apocrypha: Gospels and Related Writings by Wilhelm Schneemelcher and R. M. Wilson. For a vividly opinionated earlier version of this sort of collection see The New Testament Apocrypha by M. R. James, scholar (and superb ghost story author.))
