original description

Banned from the Bible * Biblical scholars speculate on the reasons behind their exclusion. * Examine major works of Christian theology that did not make it into the Scriptures. * See how these works have been discovered--and where they have been used. For many of the faithful, the idea smacks of heresy. But the Bible we know is just one of many versions that surely circulated in the early days of Christianity, and there are several fully-fledged books left out of the "final draft." BANNED FROM THE BIBLE travels back to the blistering sands of the Holy Land, into the onion-domed chapels of Eastern Orthodox churches and the pages of the Koran on the trail of the chapters that were left out of the ultimate version of the Scriptures. Learn of "The Life of Adam and Eve," a detailed account of the creation story written before Jesus was born that is included in the Koran. The incestuous account of "The Book of Jubilees" was included in the Orthodox Old Testament and the Dead Sea Scrolls. "The Book of Enoch" was an ancient bestseller, telling the story of the man said in Genesis to have walked with God and been assumed directly into heaven. These eight ancient works offer a fresh perspective on the figures at the foundation of faith.
