The Fire Gospel

Essential reading for all Christians. Newly translated from the Aramaic scrolls discovered in Mosul in 2006 and dated to 38/40 A.D. The testament of Malchus (not a disciple but a Christian convert and eyewitness to the crucifixion) stands beside the Gospels in shedding light on the events in the final days of our Savior. The translation by Theo Griepenkerl and the intoduction and commentary by Michael Faber are exciting reading. The only reservation I have is the title, this is not a Gospel as we have come to use the term but the account of a man who by his own admission envied the silver coins delivered to Judas for the betrayal of our Lord.
