| Documents for the Study of the Gospels Revised and Enlarged Edition Editor: David R. Cartlidge Editor: David L. Dungan This collection of freshly translated texts leads to a new appreciation of the richness and variety of the religious world within which Christianity emerged as a powerful new force. Bringing together for the first time under a single cover documents from Jewish, Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Syrian, and little- known early Christian sources, the material is arranged to bring out as clearly as possible the ways in which early Christian worship of Jesus Christ as Savior and God both echoed contemporary worship of other savior gods and at the same time stood in sharp contrast to such worship. This revised and enlarged edition contains a new introduction on texts and traditions in late antiquity, a reworked translation of The Gospel of Peter, selections from Ovid's Metamorphoses, plus such documents as Papyrus Egerton 2, Oxyrhynchus Papyrus 840, and The Apocryphon of James. In addition, the table of contents has been expanded to allow easier access to the documents contained herein. About the Editor David R. Cartlidge is Professor of Religion at Maryville College, Maryville, Tennessee. About the Editor David L. Dungan is Professor of Religion at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. Publisher: Fortress Press Publication Date: May 1 1980 Format: paperback 9 in. x 6 in. 344 pages |
