Whoa Nelly! I have on my desk the
two-volume Antike christliche Apokryphen
in deutscher Übersetzung, edited by Christoph Markschies and Jens Schröter
and just published this year by Mohr Siebeck.
This is the seventh edition of the classic Hennecke and Schneemelcher
collection of Christian apocrypha, which most English readers will recognize
from R. McL. Wilson’s translation New
Testament Apocrypha from WJK (I think).
With entirely updated essays and (German) translations of the texts,
this is no doubt now the authoritative collection of early Christian
apocrypha. You can find it here
on Amazon. For those of you who are
interested in Jesus studies, if you don’t know the name of Jens Schröter—and
you should, we’ve mentioned him here
in reference to his contribution to Demise of Authenticity—get ready to
know it. I’ve had confirmation that two
of his important German books are being translated into English, including his Von Jesus zum Neuen Testament.
