Porter covers the various Gnostic and apocryphal “gospels”, noting that some of them are considerably at odds with the canonical gospels. Gnostic ideas were popular for some time, leading up to the Albigensian Crusade in the 13th century. Unfortunately Porter doesn’t have the space to go into Gnosticism in detail.
Lots of beautiful illustrations. A nice timeline detailing when various books were produced and when and if they became canonical. There’s a bibliography, if you want to get to the original material.… (lisätietoja)
