Texts beyond the biblical canon

Edited by William Hone, this volume gathers texts described in the source as outside the official biblical canon and places them in the context of biblical history and canon formation. The accompanying description connects the material with accounts of Jesus’ life in the New Testament and notes that some texts are dated to the second century AD or earlier. Its subject is therefore both the texts themselves and their place in the history of biblical literature. The description does not identify specific works included, so the book’s precise contents cannot be summarized here.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers researching biblical history and the formation of the biblical canon
  • Readers interested in apocryphal and deuterocanonical biblical studies

Book overview

"The Lost Books of the Bible" is an essential work for students of biblical history which provides depth and historical context for many of the events regarding Jesus' life depicted in the New Testament. For what reason these texts were stricken from the official canon by the fathers of the church is not known, however contemporary source material does reliably date many of these texts to at least the 2nd century A.D., if not earlier, thus giving them a provenance that can at the very least assert these documents as important in the development of the biblical canon.
