Readers Will Find Gospels Supposedly Authored By The Apostle Philip, James The Brother Of Jesus, Mary Magdalen, And Others. There Are Acts Originally Ascribed To John And To Thecla, Pauls Female Companion; There Are Epistles Allegedly Written By Paul To The Roman Philosopher Seneca. And There Is An Apocalypse By Simon Peter That Offers A Guided Tour Of The Afterlife, Both The Glorious Ecstasies Of The Saints And The Horrendous Torments Of The Damned, And An Epistle By Titus, A Companion Of Paul, Which Argues Page After Page Against Sexual Love, Even Within Marriage, On The Grounds That Physical Intimacy Leads To Damnation. In All, The Anthology Includes Fifteen Gospels, Five Noncanonical Acts Of The Apostles, Thirteen Epistles, A Number Of Apocalypes And Secret Books, And Several Canon Lists.
