Description

This volume presents a long‑lost manuscript once treasured by early Christian communities, preserved in ancient languages and now rendered into clear English. Scholars attribute it to a disciple named Nicodemus, and its pages reveal how the early church circulated writings that later councils excluded from the canonical New Testament. Listeners will hear a careful translation that includes notes on the text’s provenance, offering a glimpse into the vibrant debates of the first centuries of Christianity.

The narrative opens with a turbulent scene in Jerusalem, where Jewish leaders bring accusations against Jesus before the Roman governor. Pilate’s questioning probes the claims of miracles performed on the Sabbath, while a messenger sent to summon Jesus unexpectedly bows and reveres him, prompting sharp reactions from the crowd and the standards of the Roman legion. These early encounters set the stage for a richly detailed account of the suffering and resurrection that unfolds in the remainder of the gospel.
