The suppressed Gospels and Epistles of the original New Testament of Jesus the Christ, Volume 2, the Protevanglion
William Wake's 1906 translation presents the Protevangelion, a suppressed early Christian text.
This second volume from William Wake's collection focuses on the Protevangelion, an early text attributed to James the Just. It examines the narratives and teachings found within this gospel, which offers a different perspective on the early life of Jesus and Mary than what is found in the canonical New Testament. Wake's work brings attention to texts that were not included in the final biblical canon, suggesting a broader spectrum of early Christian beliefs and practices. The book aims to present these suppressed texts to a modern audience. It discusses the symbolism and potential Gnostic influences present in the Protevangelion. For those interested in the historical development of Christian texts and alternative spiritual traditions, this volume offers a look at material that often remains outside mainstream theological study. It is a resource for understanding the diversity within early Christianity.

This edition finally does the material justice. It rewards patience more than any book I've bought this year. Five stars from me.
A friend in my study group recommended this one. Not a light read, but far more accessible than I feared. I'd have loved an index, but that's on the original text.
This edition finally does the material justice. Challenging in places, but never needlessly obscure. Some chapters demand a slow, careful read, and that's exactly the point.
Was skeptical at first. Some chapters demand a slow, careful read, and that's exactly the point.
Ordered this after seeing it referenced in another book I was studying. I found myself reading passages aloud just to sit with them. It reads better in small doses — a chapter at a time with notes. Recommended with reservations.
Grabbed this during a weekend order. You can tell why this work has endured. Recommended if you're ready to do the work.
My third book from this store and this one might be the best. Challenging in places, but never needlessly obscure. It rewards patience more than any book I've bought this year. Delivery took a bit longer than quoted. Still worth having on the shelf.
