Publisher's Synopsis
The Athanasian Creed and Coptic Apocryphal Gospels is a book written by Andrew Ewbank Burn and published in 1896. The book is a scholarly examination of the Athanasian Creed, a Christian statement of faith that dates back to the 5th century, and the Coptic Apocryphal Gospels, a collection of ancient texts that were not included in the canon of the New Testament. The book begins with an overview of the Athanasian Creed, its history, and its significance in the development of Christian theology. Burn explores the various interpretations of the creed and its role in shaping the understanding of the doctrine of the Trinity. The second part of the book focuses on the Coptic Apocryphal Gospels, which were discovered in Egypt in the late 19th century. Burn provides a detailed analysis of these texts, including their historical context, authorship, and themes. He also examines the relationship between the Coptic Apocryphal Gospels and the canonical gospels, as well as their influence on early Christian beliefs and practices. Overall, The Athanasian Creed and Coptic Apocryphal Gospels is a comprehensive study of two important aspects of Christian history and theology. It provides valuable insights into the development of Christian doctrine and the diversity of early Christian beliefs and practices.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
