The infancy gospels reflect the early Christian interest in how Jesus was born and raised. The Infancy Gospel of James narrates the story of Mary, mother of Jesusher birth, infancy and childhood, up to her pregnancy. The Infancy Gospel of Thomas recounts stories depicting Jesus as a petulant child prodigy. Featuring the acclaimed Scholars Version translation side-by-side with the original Greek texts, this dual language edition makes the infancy gospels readily available and truly accessible for the first time ever.

A professor of religion at the University of Southern California reveals the existence of a gospel of Mary that was known to early Christians but later suppressed by the Church, but not before some of its startling revelations filtered into medieval art and Church tradition. Reprint.

Před více než 1500 lety vůdcové církve zakázali evangelium, které vypráví příběh Mariina života. Její příběh se udržoval při životě celá staletí díky umění. Tato kniha odhaluje dávný a úplný životopis Ježíšovy matky. Odhalte neuvěřitelnou historii dávno zapomenutého dokumentu a důvod, proč bylo evangelium napsáno, kdo je napsal a proč je církev zakázala. Kniha obsahuje reprodukce slavných renesančních obrazů, které zobrazují události z Mariina života podle zakázané knihy, jež se nedostala do kánonu Nového zákona.
