Reviews

[Kat]

Interesting collection of apocrypha of questionable authenticity, but still fascinating as an insight into what early Christians included in their general beliefs. Kind of borders on headcanon at times with some of the elaborate connections being. And at one point the writer declares that since nobody else knows accurately all of the generations from Adam to Christ, he will write them down for us (it's never explained why he knows and nobody else does). Love it.

While the story is great, the narrator of this Audible audio book is terrible. M. Alexandria Steeves is the narrator. The mispronunciations were such a distraction that I found it difficult to finish. I'm disappointed because it is a great medieval story.

Interesting!

This was an amazing book to read - a fascinating apocryphal work which supplemented other knowledge e.g. it went into Mary's genealogy and gave further anecdotal accounts of the patriarchs etc. Was particularly interested in tales of the Grigori or "The Watchers".

Gives a great "outline" of life from Creation to the Death and resurrection of Jesus.
