The Gospel of Bartholomew: Early Church Fathers and the Early Church
.......As Professor of Patristic Studies at the Pontifical Gregorian University for thirty years, I have witnessed countless students encounter this text with initial bewilderment, followed by profound appreciation. The Gospel of Bartholomew presents us with questions about heaven, hell, the nature of Christ, and the role of the Blessed Virgin that captivated the minds of our earliest theological ancestors.
What sets this volume apart is its meticulous gathering of commentary from the Church Fathers - from Irenaeus to Augustine, Cyril to John Damascene - who engaged with this text not as canonical Scripture but as a document worthy of serious theological consideration. Their insights reveal how the early Church sifted truth from error, discerning the gold among the dross.
