About the book >.>.> The object of the present volume is to give that compre- hensive view. It contains fresh versions of all the really important texts and full summaries with extracts of those which do not need to be translated word for word. Further it attempts to put the reader in possession of the results of the very fruitful researches of the last generation. In those thirty years a great mass of material has been added to the available stock and what is not less important there has been a sifting of what is early from what is late and an order and chronology of the writings which is not likely to be seriously disturbed has been settled. From the historical and the literary point of view then it is worth while to present the apocryphal literature of the New Testament afresh; but it is also worth while from the religious point of view. People may still be heard to say ‘After all these Apocryphal Gospels and Acts as you call them are just as interesting as the old ones. It was only by accident or caprice that they were not put into the New Testament. (SP)
