The manuscript is at least 1,600 years old, possibly dating to the first century. This revelatory book provides the first ever translation from Syriac into English of a profound document?some twenty-nine chapters in length ?that tells us the inside story of Jesus? social, family, and political life. The Lost Gospel takes the reader on an exciting historical adventure through this highly informative ancient manuscript.
