Seven texts from the Orthodox apocryphal tradition

Nicholas Roumas brings together seven sacred books associated with the Orthodox tradition, presenting them in translation from their original languages with an introduction by the author, an Orthodox theologian and psaltis. The selection ranges across biblical-era narratives and theological subjects, including Adam and Eve’s life beyond Paradise, Enoch’s journeys to the heavenly realm, and Christ’s descent into the underworld. The collection offers a window onto texts that circulated among Orthodox scribes and are now less familiar to many readers, with stories that engage questions of human life and religious belief.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Orthodox lay readers interested in texts beyond the biblical canon
  • Readers exploring Christian apocrypha and biblical studies
  • Readers interested in Orthodox religious tradition and theology

Book overview

Stories Not in the Bible collects seven sacred books that were passed down by Orthodox scribes for almost 2000 years, before they were forgotten in modern times. Here we encounter stories such as Adam and Eve's struggle to survive outside Paradise, Enoch's journeys to the heavenly realm, and Christ's descent into the underworld. The stories are part of the Orthodox Tradition, and are told again in this book for the Orthodox lay reader, translated from the original languages and introduced by Orthodox theologian and psaltis Nicholas Roumas. These seven stories will delight, fascinate, and disturb readers with their fairy-tale-like narrative power, bold theological reflections, and wild views on human life.
