Here, in the widest selection of non-canonical gospels gathered in one volume - which also includes two modern forgeries - we see the young Jesus making live birds from clay, hear his secret words of wisdom, discover gnostic cosmologies and witness the Harrowing of Hell.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreserved by their readers and attacked by their detractors, these gospels shine a fascinating light on the early Christian Church.
