Download or read book Irish Biblical Apocrypha written by Maíre Herbert and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2004-07-09 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Corpous Apocryphum Hiberniae is organised by a number of distinguished specialists, including Father Martin McNamara, MSC. Some of the Apocrypha are preserved only in Old Irish. To focus research on the Apocrypha Hiberniae is to bring into view the milieu of Old Ireland, its links with the Holy Land, and the complex and creative traditions that enlivened the earliest Christians who endeavoured to imagine the lives of Jesus, his family, and his earliest followers. Most of this information has only recently become more widely known, making this work a fascinating and invaluable resource.
