Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The various versions of the Infancy Gospels illustrate how stories about the Virgin and Child lend themselves to be told and retold - much like the stories in the canonical Gospels. This first translation of the full text of the Armenian Gospel of the Infancy, itself derived from a sixth-century Syriac text that no longer exists, provides two variants of the famous narrative and several recensions or ancient editions. Stories about Jesus, many of them unique to thisgospel, are included to show how he exercised his sovereign and divine will even as a child.This edition also contains three early Armenian versions of the Protevangelium of James, whichwith other ancient sources dependent on it (like the Infancy Gospel of Thomas and the Gospel of Pseudo-Matthew) constitute the basic tradition in the formation of the later Infancy Gospels. These writings are our earliest sources about the parents of the Virgin Mary (Joachim and Anne) and her miraculous birth. They also form the basis for the dogma of her Immaculate Conception and perpetual virginity after the birth of Jesus, and lay the ground for certain of the Marian feasts celebrated sincethe fourth century. Terian's engaging introduction and annotation of the texts place this rare document clearly in its cultural and historical context and provide extensive references to thesurrounding textual tradition. These extraordinary stories will appeal to all with an interest in the early church. The Armenian Gospel of the Infancy is a sixth-century document, translated from an older Syriac version that no longer exists. This is the first complete translation into any modern language, comprising of some forty apocryphal stories about Jesus' family, birth, and childhood. The text gives references important for later Marian traditions. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.
