About This Book
A detailed scholarly study that opens with the recovery and physical description of Greek manuscript fragments unearthed at an Egyptian cemetery, then presents and examines fragments of a noncanonical passion narrative, an associated apocalypse, and portions of the Book of Enoch. The work analyzes palaeographic and archaeological evidence to estimate dates, assesses relationships to canonical Gospel accounts and patristic references, debates questions of authorship and theological bias, and considers transmission, possible interpolations, and the broader implications these fragmentary texts offer for reconstructing early Christian literature and the burial practices that preserved manuscripts.
