There they were given the simple designation P22220 and stored unceremoniously in paper folders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlmost thirty years later, two American scholars working independently of each other--Charles Hedrick and Paul Mirecki--began to study these forgotten fragments. What they found were pieces of a previously unknown gospel, a gospel composed perhaps in the second century and written down sometime between the fourth and seventh centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis new gospel text contains sayings of a speaker identified as \"the savior\" and dialogues between the savior and \"the apostles.\" While it shares some sayings with the canonical gospels, there are remarkable additions: To the familiar \"You are the salt of the earth\" (Matt 5:13), for example, is added the phrase \"you are the fire that illuminates the world\"--a saying unknown in the canonical gospels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this first-ever publication of The Gospel of the Savior, the scholars who discovered and reconstructed it provide a translation and critical original language text, along with illuminating introduction, commentary, and Coptic\/Greek indices. This volume also includes complete facsimile reproductions of the fragments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Polebridge Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50846668095762,"sku":"9780944344903","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_c83c87df-4a7f-40ac-90a6-66a88279bd41.jpg?v=1737365057","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/the-gospel-of-the-savior-9780944344903","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
