About the Author:
William Wake (1657-1737), English archbishop, was born in Blandford Forum, Dorset, on January 26 1657, and educated at Christ Church, Oxford.
He took orders, and in 1682 went to Paris as chaplain to the ambassador Richard Graham, Viscount Preston (1648-1695). Here he became acquainted with many of the savants of the capital, and was much interested in French clerical affairs. He also collated some Paris manuscripts of the Greek Testament for John Fell, bishop of Oxford.
He returned to England in 1685; in 1688 he became preacher at Gray's Inn, and in 1689 he received a canonry of Christ Church, Oxford. In 1693 he was appointed rector of St James's, Westminster. Ten years later he became dean of Exeter, and in 1705 he was consecrated bishop of Lincoln. He was translated to the see of Canterbury in 1716 on the death of Thomas Tenison.
During 1718 he negotiated with leading French churchmen about a projected union of the Gallican and English churches to resist the claims of Rome (see J. H. Lupton, Archbishop Wake and the Project of Union, 1896). In dealing with nonconformity he was tolerant, and even advocated a revision of the Prayer Book if that would allay the scruples of dissenters.
His writings are numerous, the chief being his State of the Church and Clergy of England ... historically deduced (London, 1703). He died at Lambeth on January 24 1736/7 (courtesy of Wikipedia).
This volume is divided into two sections. The first is called "Lost Books of the Bible", and includes works which deal with Jesus & the apostles, and may at one time have been considered part of the New Testament Gospel. Included are the following 26 "lost" books:
The Gospel of the Nativity of Mary
The Book of James, or Protoevangelion
The Gospel of the Infancy of JESUS CHRIST
I Infancy
II Infancy
III Infancy
IV Infancy
The Epistle of Jesus Christ
The Gospel of Nicodemus
The Apostles' Creed
The Epistle of Paul to the Laodiceans
The Epistles of Paul to Seneca
The Acts of Paul and Thelca
First Epistle of Clement to the Corinthians
Second Epistle of Clement to the Corinthians
The General Epistle of Barnabus
The Epistle of Ignatius to the Magnesians
The Epistle of Ignatius to the Ephesians
The Epistle of Ignatius to the Romans
The Epistle of Ignatius to the Trallians
The Epistle of Ignatius to the Philadelphians
The Epistle of Ignatius to the Smyrnaeans
The Epistle of Ignatius to Polycarp
The Epistle of Polycarp to the Philippians
The Shepherd of Hermas
The Lost Gospel According to Peter
The second part is titled "The Forgotten Books of Eden", and includes works which are suited to the Hebrew Bible, or Old Testament. They too were excluded by Jewish (and some Christian) councils due to doubts about their age and origins. Included are the following 22 books:
The Testament of Abraham
The Book of Adam and Eve
The Second Book of Adam and Eve
The Life of Adam and Eve (Slovic)
The Story of Ahikar
The Letter of Aristeas
The Odes of Solomon
The Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs (12 books)
The Psalms of Solomon
II Esdras
IV Maccabees
This affordable book offers a thought provoking read for those with a general interest "outside of the box". While the translations are somewhat dated, they are not difficult to understand.
Having this book on a CD is a dream come true. A wonderful feature of this CD is the ability to "copy and paste" any of the text from its over 1,000 pages into any other computer application/program. Try doing that with a printed book! Everything on this disk is fully searchable. And with so many pages and chapters to study, having built-in Bookmarks is definitely a time saver!
Do you like audio books? Another time-saving feature not talked about
very often is the "Read Aloud" function of Adobe Acrobat Reader. This
feature will allow your computer to read the text of the book to you,
whether it be one page or the entire book! (Don't be fooled by others
on eBay who try to pass off their eBooks as the only ones with this
feature, as it will work with nearly any PDF in Adobe Acrobat)
Not sure what an "eBook" is?
With an Ebook, you can read books on your computer screen and zoom in
on the text to make the words as big as you would like them to be to
read comfortably! You can also go to any page or chapter in the book
with just a few mouse clicks, even if the book has thousands of pages!
You can also print out any or all pages you like at your convenience.
With some Ebooks, you even have the capability to copy and paste the
text of the book into another computer file, instead of retyping by
hand. These are just a few of the features and conveniences of having a
book in electronic format.
