The Apocryphal Gospels

This audiobook explores the formation of the New Testament between 50 and 90 CE, highlighting the emergence of canonical texts amidst a plethora of other manuscripts within early Christian communities. It delves into the lengthy process of determining which writings were deemed authoritative by the Church, culminating in the 382 synod in Rome that established the recognized 26 books. Additionally, it examines the New Testament Apocrypha—texts excluded from the Bible that provide insight into the early Church's cultural and doctrinal landscape and invites listeners to consider ongoing debates surrounding their authenticity and relevance in understanding early Christianity.
