But this task is daunting for scholars and novices alike given the sheer size of the ancient literary corpora. The Ancient Literature for New Testament Studies series aims to bridge this gap by introducing the key ancient texts that form the cultural, historical, and literary context for the study of the New Testament.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEarly New Testament Apocrypha\u003c\/em\u003e offers an entry point into the corpus of early Christian apocryphal literature through twenty-eight texts or groups of texts. While the majority of the texts fall within the first four centuries CE, and therefore are useful for uncovering the earliest interpretations assigned to the New Testament, select later texts serve as reminders of how the meanings of New Testament texts continued to develop in subsequent centuries. Each essay covers introductory matters, a summary of content, interpretive issues, key passages for New Testament studies and their significance, and a select bibliography.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether you are a scholar looking to familiarize yourself with a new corpus of texts or a novice seeking to undertake a serious contextualized study of the New Testament, this is an ideal reference work for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEssays and contributors include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 1: Apocryphal Gospels\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eAgrapha\u003c\/em\u003e, Andrew Gregory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eFragments of Gospels on Papyrus\u003c\/em\u003e, Tobias Nicklas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eGospel of Barnabas\u003c\/em\u003e, Philip Jenkins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eGospel of Peter\u003c\/em\u003e, Paul Foster\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eInfancy Gospel of Thomas\u003c\/em\u003e, Reidar Aasgaard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eJewish-Christian Gospels\u003c\/em\u003e, Petri Luomanen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eLegend of Aphroditian\u003c\/em\u003e, Katharina Heyden\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003ePilate Cycle\u003c\/em\u003e, J.
