"The Suppressed Gospels and Epistles of the Original New Testament of Jesus the Christ" by William Wake is a collection of early Christian writings aiming to resurrect texts left out of the traditional New Testament, cherished by early Christian communities, particularly those from the first four centuries. It features gospels and epistles deemed apocryphal, like information about Mary's birth, and promotes personal interpretation of scripture, encouraging Christians to think for themselves and dig deeper into their faith. Edward Hancock's preface argues for understanding the impact of historical church authority on excluding these scriptures. The opening sections narrate the tale of Mary, including the despair of her parents, Joachim and Anna, due to their childlessness, followed by an angelic announcement foretelling Mary's birth and God's plan for her to become the mother of Jesus.
