A short preview of the book’s content is shown below to give you an idea of its style and themes.
This book is a collection, not a single story. Archbishop William Wake gathered writings from the first few centuries after Jesus—gospels, letters, and stories that early Christian communities debated but ultimately rejected when forming the official New Testament.
The Story
There isn't one plot. Instead, you get a bunch of alternate chapters. You'll read the 'Infancy Gospel of Thomas,' where a child Jesus brings clay birds to life. The 'Gospel of Peter' describes a giant, walking cross at the resurrection. Letters from early church leaders argue about rules, beliefs, and which books should be trusted. It's a window into a time when Christianity was still figuring out what it was.
Why You Should Read It
It’s fascinating to see the ideas that didn't win. These texts show how diverse early Christian thought was. Some are mystical, some are strict, and some just tell very different stories. It makes you realize that the Bible we know was shaped by real people making tough choices. It doesn't attack faith; it just shows the complicated history behind it. Reading this feels like uncovering ancient, spirited conversations.
Final Verdict
Perfect for history buffs, the spiritually curious, or anyone who likes 'what if' scenarios. It's not a light devotional read—it's for people who want to understand the foundations of Western religion from a new angle. If you enjoy seeing how big ideas get built, piece by contested piece, you'll find this collection absolutely gripping.
This is a copyright-free edition. It serves as a testament to our shared literary heritage.
