Bible Note: Dear Schwartz-km: Interesting account of some of these spurious gospels and other fanciful literature that were written during the early centuries of the Christian age. I quite agree with you, that they are unabashedly whimsical, wryly amusing, and totally false. But lest we think that the age of gospel fairy tales came to a close with these writings, we need to take a second look. In our time there have been, and continue to be, books written, published, read, and believed that claim to be revelations from God but are no less a compilation of farce, lies and fairy tales than these ancient fables were. The age of deception has not ended nor the capacity to deceive diminished. --Hank |
