RELC 3469 - Survey of Apocryphal Christian Literature

Effective Start Date: 01/30/2020
There are four gospels, one book of “acts,” and one “apocalypse” (that is, “revelation”) in the canonical New Testament – but early Christian authors produced far more literature than that. In this course, we will read a wide range of “apocryphal” (or “noncanonical”) gospels, acts, and apocalypses, focusing on texts that, despite their noncanonical status, were widely read and highly influential in the history of Christianity.

Requisites: Students can’t enroll if previously taken RELC 3559 topic #24 Apocryphal Christian Literature

Credits: 3
