Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive examination of non-canonical sources related to the Gospels. The author begins by evaluating the evidence of their use in the sub-apostolic age. Key among these non-canonical sources is the Epistle of Clement of Rome (written around the closing years of the 1st century). The author argues that the Epistle includes citations and references to the Gospel accounts but that these do not correspond literally with any passages in our Gospels due to the different standard of quotation in that era. The author takes a similar approach to examining the non-canonical writings of Ignatius, Polycarp, and other early Christian leaders. In a detailed study of the sources, the author examines the traces of the use of the Gospels and the indications of the manner in which they were regarded, concluding with an evaluation of the trustworthiness of the Gospels so far as these depend on external evidence. The author's rigorous approach and careful analysis make this a valuable resource for biblical scholars.
