Twenty-Five Agrapha: Or Extra-Canonical Sayings Of Our Lord

Twenty-Five Agrapha: Or Extra-Canonical Sayings Of Our Lord is a book compiled by the theologian, Samuel Macauley Jackson, and the biblical scholar, Reginald Harvey Blomfield. The book contains a collection of twenty-five sayings attributed to Jesus Christ, which are not found in the canonical Gospels of the New Testament. These sayings are known as agrapha, meaning ""unwritten"" or ""unrecorded"" sayings of Jesus. The authors have gathered these agrapha from various sources, including early Christian writings, the works of the Church Fathers, and other non-canonical texts. Each saying is presented in its original language, followed by an English translation, and a brief commentary on its historical context and significance. The agrapha included in the book cover a wide range of topics, from ethics and morality to eschatology and the nature of God. Some of the sayings are familiar to readers of the New Testament, while others are more obscure and offer new insights into Jesus' teachings. Overall, Twenty-Five Agrapha: Or Extra-Canonical Sayings Of Our Lord is a valuable resource for scholars and students of early Christianity, as well as for anyone interested in exploring the lesser-known sayings of Jesus Christ.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
