| A one-stop guide to once-hidden works that add a new dimension to bible teachings
Most people have heard about the discovery of strange ancient religious writings that are not part the Hebrew Bible or the New Testament, such as the Gnostic Gospels. Lost Books of the Bible For Dummies offers new insight and a fresh perspective on long-lost works that may have once been in the running for biblical inclusion, but didn't make the final cut. This easy-to-understand guide examines the sometimes weird, provocative, and profoundly moving texts that have been "lost" as well as those hotly debated works that are in some Bibles and not others. Readers will come away with a clearer understanding of the Judeo-Christian religion and how the biblical canon is developed.
