Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from New Testament Apocryphal Writings These began to be produced (so far as known) in the second century, mostly in Ebionitic and Gnostic circles, and, with few exceptions, were repudiated and condemned by the Church. Only later, and in modified and expurgated forms, did their stories pass into the general Catholic tradition. The second century seems to have been a perfect hot-bed for the production of this class of writings. The heretical Gospel of the Egyptians is already quoted in 2 Clement (circa A.D. 140). Irenæus speaks of the sect of the Marcosians as adducing ´an unspeakable number of apocryphal and spurious writings, which they themselves had forged, to bewilder the minds of the foolish,´ and instances he story, found in the Gospel of Thomas, of Jesus confounding the schoolmaster who sought to teach Him His letters (Adv. Haer. i 20). Later tradition attributed the composition of many of the apocryphal writings Pseudo-Matthew, Acts of Apostles to a mythical Leucius, a disciple of the Apostles (cp art. ´Leucius,´ Dict. of Christ. Biog.). About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.
