Publisher's Synopsis
The Life of Jesus According to Extra-Canonical Sources is a book written by Bernhard Pick in 1887. It is a comprehensive exploration of the life of Jesus Christ through sources that are not included in the New Testament. The book is divided into four parts, each of which focuses on a different aspect of Jesus' life. The first part examines the birth and childhood of Jesus, drawing on apocryphal texts such as the Infancy Gospel of James and the Gospel of Thomas. The second part explores Jesus' ministry and teachings, using sources such as the Gospel of Peter and the Gospel of the Hebrews. The third part delves into the events leading up to Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection, including the trial and the betrayal by Judas Iscariot. The final part of the book examines the post-resurrection appearances of Jesus and his ascension into heaven.Throughout the book, Pick provides detailed analysis and commentary on the various sources, highlighting their similarities and differences and offering insights into the historical and cultural context in which they were written. He also draws on the works of other scholars and theologians to provide a comprehensive overview of the life and teachings of Jesus as they are portrayed in these extra-canonical sources.Overall, The Life of Jesus According to Extra-Canonical Sources is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the historical Jesus and the development of early Christian tradition. It offers a unique perspective on Jesus' life and teachings, drawing on a diverse range of sources that are often overlooked in traditional biblical scholarship.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
