Book Reviews of The Lost Books of the Bible
Book Review: Not the usual apocrypha!
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this book thinking it was The Apocrypha. It is not, at least not what most books entitled "The Apocrypha" are. It contains interesting material, most of which will appeal to Roman Catholic readers. If you are looking for Judith, Tobit, Esdras, and the Maccabbees, none of them are in this book. If you are looking for legendary stuff about Jesus' infancy and childhood, and that of his mother Mary, you will enjoy this.
Oh, one other thing you might find annoying (I did): even though this was translated in the early 20th century, the translators wrote it in pseudo-Elizabethan English. I guess they thought if they translated it into modern English, people would be offended and not think it was "holy."
Summary of The Lost Books of the Bible
Suppressed by the early church fathers who compiled the Bible, these apocryphal books have been shrouded in silence for centuries. Here are the Apostles' Creed, the girlhood and betrothal of Mary, the childhood of Jesus-told in all their warmth, intimacy and humanity. Translated from the Original Tongues, with 32 illustrations from Ancient Paintings and Missals.Bible & Other Sacred Texts Books
