Description:

From long-forgotten parchment fragments in the Berlin Egyptian Museum, American scholars Charles Hedrick and Paul Mirecki have reconstructed an unknown ancient gospel. Gospel of the Savior is the first publication and translation of this long-lost early gospel, written in the Coptic language of Christian Egypt.

Gospel of the Savior opens a new window on early Christianity. The manuscript contains discourses by a figure called "the Savior" in dialogue with his apostles. Some of the sayings are similar to those in other known gospels. But some are different and new-sayings of Jesus that as far as can be known have not been available to readers since antiquity.

Gospel of the Savior includes a complete translation and transcription of the text, along with an extensive introduction, commentary, notes, index, and illustrations. Adding to the interest of the book for both scholars and general readers are complete photographic reproductions of all the ancient parchment fragments.
