About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Forbidden Gospels and Epistles by Various. (Translated by Archbishop Wake.) Read in English by CJ Plog This is a compilation of ancient books attributed to the writings of the apostles of Jesus Christ and their disciples. These books were once regarded with reverence by the early Christian Church during the first four centuries. After violent disputations by the Bishops of the Nicene Council, these books were forbidden and omitted from the Catholic and Protestant Editions of the New Testament in the reign of the Emperor Constantine. The "Forbidden Books" have been translated from the original tongues, with historical references to their authenticity, BY ARCHBISHOP WAKE AND OTHER LEARNED DIVINES. - Summary by Paraphrase of the original Archbishop Wake Introduction
