- Summary:
- This reader presents every Christian writing known to have been produced during the first hundred years of the church (30-130 C.E.). In addition to the New Testament itself, it includes other early non-canonical Gospels, Acts, Epistles, and Apocalypses, as well as additional writings, such as those of the Apostolic Fathers. Each text is provided in an up-to-date translation (including the NRSV for the New Testament), and introduced with an incisive discussion of its author, date of composition, and overarching themes. This second edition adds The Martyrdom of Polycarp, features Ehrman's new translations of many of the non-canonical works, and provides updated introductions that incorporate the most recent scholarship.
