Extracanonical Sayings of Jesus

This volume makes available to the general student of the New Testament and early Christian literature, as well as to the specialist, a comprehensive collection of the extracanonical sayings of Jesus in original text and English translation, along with appropriate parallel materials. The sayings are grouped into six sections: apophthegms, parables, prophetic and apocalyptic sayings, wisdom sayings, I-sayings, and community rules. Extracanonical sayings gleaned from variant readings of New Testament manuscripts, noncanonical Gospels and writings, and works of the early church fathers are included, along with parallel materials from both canonical and extracanonical sources.
