This volume contains books forbidden by the bishops of the Nicene Council during the reign of Constantine, translated into English. William Wake strongly opposed what he termed the “pious fraud” of the Nicene Council and the “mutilating of the New Testament.” He believed that every man had the right to form his own judgment of the texts, and in this volume, he highlights the controversial Gospel of Mary, and includes 24 others, such as Protevangelion; Clement I and II; Hermas I, II, and III; and the origin of the Apostles’ Creed.
