new New Testament, A

new New Testament, A

By Hal Taussig

Book Description

For centuries, the twenty-seven books of the traditional New Testament have shaped Christian understanding, yet they represent only a portion of the rich spiritual literature that guided early Christian communities. This groundbreaking collection invites modern readers to discover the fuller conversation that sparked Christianity's emergence.

Through careful scholarly collaboration, this expanded testament brings together the familiar scriptures with ten additional texts that were equally significant to early believers. These recovered writings were not fringe documents or alternative teachings, but authentic voices that participated in the vibrant spiritual dialogue of nascent Christianity. While these texts have remained largely confined to academic circles, they offer profound insights for contemporary spiritual seekers.

The book presents these ancient writings in the accessible Open English Bible translation, allowing readers to experience the complete chorus of early Christian thought. Rather than replacing traditional scripture, this collection enriches our understanding by restoring voices that time had silenced. Each text contributes to a more comprehensive picture of how early communities wrestled with questions of faith, meaning, and spiritual practice.

For those seeking to deepen their spiritual journey, this collection offers fresh perspectives on familiar themes while introducing wisdom that has been hidden for generations. The result is an invitation to engage with Christianity's foundational period in its full complexity and richness.
