Synopsis "A Story of Jesus' Life: Based on the Apocryphal Gospels"

Besides the four canonical gospels, early Christians wrote a number of accounts of various parts of Jesus' life. These accounts have been available to scholars for some time, but now in this accessible story, built from these accounts, any reader can get a picture of Jesus as depicted in these extracanonical writings.This book does not aim to provide a translated text of the gospels; there are other references for that purpose. What it does is gather the stories together and provide a readable, connected narrative referenced to these sources so that readers can became acquainted with the nature of these works and get a context for understanding discussions relating to this material. This will provide an opportunity for students of the gospels to compare the value and validity of the four canonical gospels and these additional stories. It can be a good introduction to looking at the four gospels to develop a clear picture of who Jesus is.The authors are both experts in the languages used and well-acquainted with the historical and narrative elements needed to paint this picture. This book is intended for the serious student of the Bible and of New Testament times but it can benefit those without an advanced background in biblical studies. It is thoroughly referenced to the documents, however, to provide students with the material needed for academic study.

Antonio Piñero Sáenz (Chipiona, Spain, August 14, 1941) is a philologist, historian, and Spanish writer specialized in early Christianity, Judaism before Christianity, and the life of Jesus of Nazareth. He graduated in Pure Philosophy at the Complutense University of Madrid in 1968, in Classical Philology at the University of Salamanca in 1970, and in Trilingual Biblical Philology at the Pontifical University of Salamanca in 1976. In 1974, he obtained his PhD in Classical Philology at the Complutense University of Madrid. Since 1983, he has been a professor of New Testament Philology at the same university

Among his most notable works are "The New Testament: Introduction to the study of the first Christian writings" (1995), "Approach to the historical Jesus" (2018), and "The other Jesus: life of Jesus according to the apocryphal gospels" (1996). His work focuses on the philological and historical analysis of early Christian texts, seeking to separate the historical figure of Jesus from later theological interpretations. In addition to his academic output, Piñero has participated in dissemination activities through media and conferences, bringing his research on the origins of Christianity closer to the general public.
