  Short Description for Recovering Jewish-Christian Sects and GospelsThe book provides a new approach to patristic sources on the earliest Jewish Christians. It shows the artificial nature of the church fathers discourse and challenges the widely accepted theory of three Jewish-Christian gospels, bringing the Gospel of the Hebrews closer to its synoptic cousins.

Full description for Recovering Jewish-Christian Sects and Gospels

• The mystery of lost, apocryphal Jewish-Christian gospels has intrigued scholars for centuries. Scholars have also debated whether the Ebionites with their low Christology or the more orthodox Nazarenes are the genuine successors of the early Jerusalem church. The book provides a fresh assessment of the patristic sources and the scholarly theories on the number and contents of Jewish-Christian gospels. A new approach, the study of indicators of Jewish-Christian profiles, shows the artificial nature of the church fathers heretical discourse, bringing forth previously neglected connections between various Jewish-Christian movements. The book also challenges the widely accepted theory of three Jewish-Christian gospels bringing the Gospel of the Hebrews closer to its synoptic cousins not, however, as a witness of the earliest Jesus traditions but as a post-synoptic composition.
