Inhaltsangabe
The rediscovery of several lost texts of early Christianity, which contain long-lost accounts of the life of Jesus, has aroused great public interest and media excitement. Some writers claim that these "hidden gospels" - particularly the famous Gospel of Thomas - provide revolutionary new information about the life of Jesus and about the early days of Christianity. This book tells how these ancient works were rediscovered, and how and why people came to make such far-reaching claims about them, claims which could have a dramatic effect on the faith and practice of contemporary Christianity. Although these texts have received a great deal of attention, Jenkins argues, their historical value is vastly inflated. "Hidden Gospels" debunks excessive claims about the historical value and importance of these texts, and argues that the writings are popular because they seem to justify radical, feminist, and post-modern positions in the modern churches.

Zustand: Sehr gut. VII, 260 p. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Slightly rubbed, otherwise very good and clean. - Was Jesus really a subversive MYSTIC WHOSE TRUE TEACHINGS were suppressed by an authoritarian church? Has the real nature of Christianity been deliberately obscured for centuries? Do recently discovered texts such as the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Mary, and even the Dead Sea Scrolls undermine the historical validity of the New Testament? In this incisive critique, Philip Jenkins thoroughly and convincingly debunks such claims. Jenkins places the recent controversies surrounding the hidden gospels in a broad historical context and argues that, far from being revolutionary, such attempts to find an alternative Christianity date back at least to the Enlightenment. And by employing the appropriate scholarly and historical methodologies, he demonstrates that the texts purported to represent pristine Christianity were in fact composed long after the canonical gospels found in the Bible. Produced by obscure heretical movements, these texts offer no reliable new information about Jesus or the early church. They have attracted so much media attention chiefly because they seem to support radical, feminist, and post-modern positions in the modern church. Indeed, Jenkins shows how best-selling books on the "hidden gospels" have been taken up by an uncritical, scandal-hungry media as the basis for a social movement that could have dramatic effects on the faith and practice of contemporary Christianity. Brilliantly researched and sharply argued, Hidden Gospels unearths both the complex agendas and flawed methods of scholars who have created a whole new mythology about Jesus and the early church. - Philip Jenkins is Distinguished Professor of History and Religious Studies at Pennsylvania State University.
