Summary

"The Suppressed Gospels and Epistles of the Original New Testament of Jesus the…", edited by Archbishop Wake and other learned divines, presents a compilation of old Christian writings that gives us a look at different stories and lessons related to Jesus and his followers, which mainstream Christianity didn't accept. The collection shows the disagreements and different ideas among early Christians before they settled on the New Testament we know today. The writings include letters and gospels that weren't included in the Bible, such as the letters between Jesus and King Abgarus, where the king asks for healing and Jesus recognizes the king’s belief after hearing about it. There's also the story of Paul and Thecla, which tells about Thecla's strong commitment to her religious beliefs while being treated unfairly, and the amazing things that happen to them. Through these writings, themes of faith, sacrifice, and theological discussion can be seen, painting a detailed picture of early Christian thinking and actions that differ from the common Christian stories of today.
