5W, 1980 Comprehensive view of the apocryphal literature connected with the New Testament. Description The Apocryphal New Testament refers to a collection of early Christian writin gs that were not included in the canonical New Testament. These texts, which include gospels, acts, epistles, and apocalypses, were often attributed to apostles or other significant biblical figures but were excluded from the official canon due to questions about their authorship, theological content, or widespread acceptance. While not recognized as scripture by most mainstream Christian traditions, these writings offer valuable insights into the diversity of early Christian beliefs and practices.
