The documents in this book were written soon after Christ's Crucifixion, during the early spread of Christianity. But when the Bible was compiled in the end of the fourth century, these texts were not among those chosen. They were supressed by the Church, and for over 1500 years were shrouded in secrecy. Now they are all shown in this book as important figures of our New Testament.
