Book Overview
The publication of the apocryphal Acts in Greek and Latin by Lipsius and Bonnet as well as Schmidt have opened a large, but very little cultivated field of ancient Christian literature. The oldest of these Acts are those which are treated in the present volume. They give us a picture of Christianity towards the end of the second century. They are important for the history of the Christian cultus in the second and third centuries, and by their description of the divine service in the houses they supplement the] picture delineated in the Acts of the Apostles. They are also important for the history of Christian poetry which commences among the Gnostics; in short: though these Acts contain both 'truth and fiction, ' they cannot be ignored . . . . --from the Preface

Very disappointed with the way this book is printed
Published by Demetria , 1 year ago
I was excited to get my copy. The book was is very good condition on the outside. I opened it, prepared to spend the day reading, only to realize that it was incomprehensible to say the least. Each page was a copy of two pages from the original text, but printed in portrait fashion. So I could read the first page, but the second page was cut off. On each page of this book, there were two pages crammed together. if this description leaves you confused, image how I felt trying to figure out how to read it!! I will be returning this book ASAP and sticking to penguin house or Amazon! 😠Maybe one day I'll get to read its contents I'll n a legible way
