A couple of days ago I received my copy of the proceedings of the York Christian Apocrypha Symposium that I presented at on the subject of the Gospel of Jesus\u2019 Wife. The volume is published by Cascade (an imprint of Wipf and Stock)<\/a> and available through Amazon<\/a> as well as the publisher\u2019s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Readers may recall me liveblogging the conference as it was happening<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The volume includes the keynote address by Bart Ehrman which inspired me to write the parody song \u201c50 Ways to Forge a Gospel.\u201d<\/a> I realize that I am long overdue to write a post working through the references and allusions in the song<\/a> to a range of apocryphal, pseudepigraphal, forged, misattributed, and other works that I hope at least some listeners were able to pick up on. I will still do that at some point if I think anyone might be interested.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, there is the book, which is definitely of interest, and includes chapters whose attributions of authorship are precise and accurate!<\/p>\n

See also Philip Jenkins\u2019 series on alternative scriptures<\/a>, as well as the posts from a while back by Mark Goodacre<\/a> and Philip Tite<\/a> on texts like the Gospel of Jesus\u2019 Wife<\/a>.
