Thomas, Gospel of
(216 words)
[German version] The GT is part of one of the Coptic MSS found in Nag Hammadi in 1945 (NHCod II,2). It is a collection of 114 sayings of Jesus; a part was already known in Greek from three Oxyrhynchus papyri (1, 654 and 655; Oxyrhynchos B.). Half of the sayings have parallels in the canonical or synoptic gospels, others (about 20) are cited by the Church Fathers. The GT purports to be a secret doctrine of Jesus that he entrusted to his twin brother Judas Thomas [1]. As far as the form is concerned…

Thomasevangelium
(189 words)
[English version] Das Th. ist Teil einer der 1945 in Nag Hammadi gefundenen koptischen Hss. (NHCod II,2).

Luke, Gospel of
(1,234 words)
1. Author As the language of the Gospel of Luke indicates, its author came from educated pagan circles, probably in the North Aegean. At the time of writing he had become a Christian and belonged to a group of missionaries a generation after the death of Peter and Paul. His work, which may date to about 80–90, is evidently that of a historian of the day (Historiography 2), a convert (Conversion 1) anxious to defend the faith, and an evangelist with a zeal to impart it. The author aimed his work at…
Ascension of Christ
(782 words)
1. Luke is the only NT author to tell the story of the ascension (which is mentioned in
Barn.
15:9 and
Gos. Pet.
9:35–42, as well as in the Old Latin codex Bobiensis [MS
k] at the beginning of Mark 16:4). There are two short accounts, whose surprising differences can be explained by their respective literary functions. The first account, at the end of Luke (24:50–53), focuses on Jesus blessing his disciples (note the repetitions in vv. 50 and 51) and parting from them at the end of his life. The disciples, who feel protected, fall down before the risen Lord in worship …
Apocrypha/Pseudepigrapha

[German Version] I. Terminology – II. Old Testament – III. New Testament– IV. New Testament Apocrypha from Nag Hammadi
I. Terminology Etymologically, “apocryphal” means “hidden, secret,” while “pseudepigraphal” indicates that a document has been falsely attributed to an author. In the modern period, the usage of both terms has been burdened by confessional preconceptions, since the extent of the canon (Bib…

Acts of Andrew
(167 words)
[German Version] (
Acts And.). The
Acts of Andrew recounts the missionary journeys of the apostle Andrew from Pontus to Achaia. The theme of his preaching, which is accompanied by healings and exorcisms, is a world-denying and ascetic form of Christianity. His conversion of Maximilla, the wife of the Roman governor Aegeas, enrages the latter. Facing crucifixion at Patras, he sings the praises …

Apocryphal Acts
(893 words)
[German Version] I. Form and Genre – II. Literature
I. Form and Genre In terms of form the Apocryphal Acts (AA) resemble the canonical Gospels, especially John, rather than the Acts of the Apostles. Like Jesus in the Gospels, the respective apostle introduces himself as a mediator of divine revelation. At the end of his ministry, like Jesus, he endures martyrdom (crucifixion for Andrew, Peter and P…

Hebrews, Gospel of the
(307 words)
[German Version] A
Gospel of the Hebrews is mentioned by Papias (Eus.
Hist. eccl. III 39.17) and Hegesippus (Eus.
Hist. eccl. IV 22.8) and is cited by representatives of the Alexandrian school, Clement (
Stromata, II 9.45; IV 14.96), Origen (
Comm. Jo. II 12;
Hom. Jer. XV 4), and Didymus (
Comm. Ps. 33 [34].1). It is the document of a Jewish Christian community, probably from Egypt. It must be differentiated from both the
Gospel of the
Egyptians and the
Gospel of the Ebionites (Ebionites, Gospel of the). Jerome frequently cites a
Gospel of the Hebrews read by the Nazoreans, a Jewish-Christ…
