Bibliography

About the Author :
Canon Dr. Fred Lapham received his Ph.D. from the University of Wales, Lampeter where he occasionally lectures in the New Testament Apocrypha. He lives in Shropshire, UK.

Review :
"...demonstrates careful awareness of patristic sources regarding sources of these texts and provides a helpful categorization of types of documents with respect to familiar New Testament documents. He also provides a helpful discussion of the origin and particular emphases of Gnosticism." -Daniel M. Gurtner, Society of Biblical Literature, September 2004 "Lapham provides a very readable account of the various New Testament apocryphal books" Allan M. Harman, Reformed Theological Review 66:1
