Book excerpt: Surgidos de las profundidades del cristianismo, los textos apócrifos –es decir, ocultos- del Nuevo Testamento, apartados durante muchos siglos por la Iglesia oficial, resurgen hoy de manera asombrosa.

Su presentación permite resituar algunos de ellos en su contexto y juzgar mejor su impacto en la historia del cristianismo. • Evangelios de la Infancia y ciclo de los Padres: el Protoevangelio de Santiago, el Evangelio del Pseudo.Tomás, el Transitus Mariae, la historia de José el Carpintero. • Evangelios de la Pasión: el Evangelio de Nicodemo, el Evangelio de Pedro. • Evangelios gnósticos: el evangelio según Tomás. El Evangelio de la Verdad, el Evangelio según Felipe. El libro se cierra con un Anexo sobre las palabras de Jesús provenientes de los manuscritos del Nuevo Testamento, de los escritos de los padres de la Iglesia y de los hechos apócrifos de los Apóstoles.

Download or read book Evangelios ap crifos written by Varios Autores and published by Linkgua. This book was released on 2012-09-01 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los Evangelios apócrifos se escribieron en los primeros siglos del cristianismo y cuentan historias relativas a Jesús, que no aparecen en los textos canónicos. Son escenas omitidas por la ortodoxia cristiana, que se encontraron, en el siglo XX, en los rollos del Mar Muerto y los de Nag Hammadi. A estos documentos se les dio el nombre de Evangelios por su aspecto similar a los cuatro evangelios admitidos en el canon del Nuevo Testamento. Sin embargo, muchos de ellos no tienen un estilo evangélico. Algunos de estos escritos aparecieron en comunidades gnósticas, con la intención de contener palabras y mensajes ocultos (en griego, apokryphos). Cabe comentar que el término apócrifo no indicaba en sus orígenes falsedad, sino misterio. Estos mensajes, ocultos entre los discursos y atribuidos a Cristo, estaban reservados a los iniciados en esas comunidades. La lectura de los Evangelios apócrifos nos ilustra sobre la forma en que se comprendió el cristianismo en los primeros siglos de su historia y, en particular, la figura de Jesús, de la que los evangelios apócrifos ofrecen una imagen muy diferente a la de los canónicos. Aquí se cuenta la infancia de Jesúcristo y sus aventuras mundanas.

Download or read book The Protevangelium of James written by George T. Zervos and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-08-22 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George T. Zervos presents the first in a two-volume critical investigation of one of the earliest and most important of the New Testament Apocrypha, the Protevangelium of James, also known as the Infancy Gospel of James. Zervos challenges the prevailing view that the ProtJas is a 2nd century unitary document; finding it instead to be the product of an ongoing redactional process in which a 1st century CE “heretical” text was progressively conformed to the “orthodox” Christian doctrine of the time. Zervos tells the story of how an early apocryphal gospel provided the developing church with doctrinal material, which was incorporated into both the theology and the ecclesiastical liturgical cycle of the medieval Church, thus becoming a significant part of the standard catechism for generations of Christians. In this first volume Zervos provides a critical introduction to the text and discusses ProtJas' publication history, scholarly investigation, compositional problems and evidence of redaction, as well as a in-depth analysis of the narrative. For the first time the readings of the vast majority of the known Greek manuscripts appear together, with a transcription of the original text of the complete copy of the ProtJas found in Papyrus Bodmer V.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The discovery of the Nag Hammadi Library (1945) has given an enormous impetus not only to the study of ancient Gnosticism but also to that of early Christianity in general. Most of the studies contained in this volume deal with mythological conceptions and theological ideas found in various Nag Hammadi writings. The gnostic views on the nature of God and on creation and salvation receive particular attention, ranging from Philo to the medieval Cathars. The Nag Hammadi Library also shed new light on the development of early Alexandrian Christianity and its theology. The book contains six studies which explicitly deal with these topics. This volume is of interest to students of Gnosticism, early Christianity and Graeco-Roman religious and philosophical ideas in general.

Download or read book Communities of Violence written by David Nirenberg and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-05-26 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the wake of modern genocide, we tend to think of violence against minorities as a sign of intolerance, or, even worse, a prelude to extermination. Violence in the Middle Ages, however, functioned differently, according to David Nirenberg. In this provocative book, he focuses on specific attacks against minorities in fourteenth-century France and the Crown of Aragon (Aragon, Catalonia, and Valencia). He argues that these attacks--ranging from massacres to verbal assaults against Jews, Muslims, lepers, and prostitutes--were often perpetrated not by irrational masses laboring under inherited ideologies and prejudices, but by groups that manipulated and reshaped the available discourses on minorities. Nirenberg shows that their use of violence expressed complex beliefs about topics as diverse as divine history, kinship, sex, money, and disease, and that their actions were frequently contested by competing groups within their own society. Nirenberg's readings of archival and literary sources demonstrates how violence set the terms and limits of coexistence for medieval minorities. The particular and contingent nature of this coexistence is underscored by the book's juxtapositions--some systematic (for example, that of the Crown of Aragon with France, Jew with Muslim, medieval with modern), and some suggestive (such as African ritual rebellion with Catalan riots). Throughout, the book questions the applicability of dichotomies like tolerance versus intolerance to the Middle Ages, and suggests the limitations of those analyses that look for the origins of modern European persecutory violence in the medieval past.
Download or read book Paul and God s Temple written by Albert L. A. Hogeterp and published by Peeters Publishers. This book was released on 2006 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul addresses his readers as God's Temple in his Letters to the Corinthians, which are among the earliest documents of Christianity. This volume provides a synthesis of the historical and exegetical dimensions to Paul's cultic imagery. Previous theories (spiritualisation, substitution, comparative religions approach) cannot stand in view of the analysis of the broader historical context as well as reconsideration of Paul's theological perspective. This historical interpretation integrates relevant Qumran texts published since the 1990's, insights about the early Jesus-movement's Jewish origins, and canonical as well as extra-canonical Gospels in the discussion about cultic imagery. Paul and God's Temple sheds new light on Paul's relation to contemporary Judaism and temple-theological traditions, while putting Paul's cultic imagery in a rhetorical-critical and reader-oriented perspective.
Download or read book Christian Apocrypha written by Jean-Michel Rössli and published by Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht. This book was released on 2014-07-16 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In very different ways the writings of the New Testament have shaped cultures until today. The Novum Testamentum Patristicum project will give a full documentation of ancient Christian receptions of the New Testament in late antiquity. This volume focuses on the different mainly narrative receptions of New Testament texts in ancient Christian apocryphal literature. While it has been accepted for a long time that apocryphal writings mainly wanted to fill the gaps of New Testament texts in more or less fantastic ways, the articles in this volume discover a rich and very different variety of re-writings, relectures, and receptions of New Testament texts, motifs and ideas.
