Summary: Useful for study of early Christianity
Review: This book provides a simple english translation of the main apocryphal gospels from Christianity's early centuries. Each text is preceded with a brief introduction on the nature of the text, provenance, date etc. For a more detailed text on the NT apocrypha, Schneemelcher would be the best choice.

Summary: An Excellect Collection
Review: This book, along with Ehrman's "Lost Christianities", is an excellent introduction to the complexities of early Christianity. Not as technical and "foot-note-y" as Schneemelcher and Wilson's "New Testament Apocrypha" but more detailed than Barnstone's "The Other Bible" and "The Gnostic Bible", this is a handy anthology for both scholar and layman.
