The Apocryphal New Testament: A Collection of Apocryphal Christian Literature in an English Translation
`Review from previous edition Interest in the so-called New Testament apocrypha is probably greater now than it has ever been. Elliott has provided a reliable resource which should inform and increase that interest.' Biblical Interpretation`It is good to have this excellent replacement [of M. R. James's edition] which takes account of recent discoveries.' The Expository Times`this is a book that will serve the needs of students for many years to come.' Journal of Theological Studies`It has been beautifully produced with very useful bibliography accompanying the selections, and it will be an important reference work for every college and seminary library.' Southwestern Journal of Theology`fascinating source of information ... The collection made by James contained the most important and the most influential of these texts and gave valuable access to significant but often little known part of the Christian heritage ... James' book has been the standard work in English since it was brought out in 1924 ... Dr Elliott has drawn on the scholarly discussion and critical editions of his texts in a variety of languages ... He has, as it were, done the groundwork and readers are able to benefit from the results of his research without the task of wading through the secondary literature for themselves ... an easy to consult, conveniently-sized volume.'
