| Summary |
"The Suppressed Gospels and Epistles of the Original New Testament of Jesus the Christ" is a historical account compiled by Archbishop Wake and other learned divines, likely written in the late 19th century. This book falls under the category of religious and historical texts, exploring the gospels and epistles excluded from the mainstream New Testament that have been revered by primitive Christian churches during the first four centuries. Its primary focus is to shed light on the early Christian writings that were suppressed or omitted due to theological disputes. The content of the book delves into the narratives surrounding the birth of Jesus and his family, specifically featuring accounts attributed to James the Lesser, the cousin of Jesus. Among the key stories is "The Protevangelion," which portrays the miraculous conception of Mary and the circumstances of Jesus' birth. The text presents detailed interactions between Mary, Joseph, and various angels, emphasizing themes of innocence, divine intervention, and the lineage of Jesus. Through its exploration of these early scriptures, the book provides insights into the beliefs and traditions of early Christianity, contrasting with more widely accepted gospels in the New Testament.
