description: This is a unique collection of the sayings attributed to Jesus that are not recorded in the four biblical gospels. They have been specially translated for this book from Coptic, Greek and Arabic sources, drawing particularly on the Gospel of Thomas in the Nag Hammadi Library.Hidden Sayings of Jesus forms a reliable guide to the range of sayings, introducing them for a broad, non-specialist audience and setting them in their historical and scriptural background with authoritative quotations from scholars. Each saying is given in full, graded as to its possible authenticity and accompanied by a short commentary. William Morrice examines what they can tell us about Jesus and his early followers and why they have aroused so much interest today.
