Christian Apocrypha

Receptions of the New Testament in Ancient Christian Apocrypha. Edited by Jean-Michel Roessli & Tobias Nicklas.

18 contributions (seven in german, eleven in english language). This volume focuses on the different mainly narrative receptions of New Testament texts in ancient Christian apocryphal literature. While it has been accepted for a long time that apocryphal writings mainly wanted to fill the gaps of New Testament texts in more or less fantastic ways, the articles in this volume discover a rich and very different variety of re-writings, relectures, and receptions of New Testament texts, motifs and ideas. Including contributions by André Gagné, Andrew Gregory, Thomas R. Karmann, Anna Van den Kerchove, Jacques-Noël Pérès, Alberto D'Anna, Peter W. Dunn, Lautaro Roig Lanzillotta, Giovanni Battista Bazzana, Geneviève Gobillot, Alain Desreumaux, Alicia J. Batten, François Bovon, Tony Burke, Charlotte Touati, Flavio G.
