The Apocryphal Jesus: Legends of the Early Church - Elliott, J. Keith (Editor)

Legends of the Early Church

KORTE INHOUD

Jesus' birth in a cave, his childhood escapades, his secret sayings, and his descent to the underworld; the torment in Hell; Saint Paul baptizing a lion; the death of Pontius Pilate and Saint Peter being crucified upside down. These are among the fascinating stories found in this present selection. They all come from early Christian legends which are not found in the Bible, but yet have had a profound influence on art, literature, and theology from the second century through the Middle Ages and even to modern times.
