Thank you so much for all three manuscripts!

None of them rang true to my Spirit, but it is quite interesting to note the thinking of various sects throughout history.

The Old Testament Pseudepigrapha on the other hand has some Hebrew lore which does ring true. For instance, one recounts how come Abraham left his father and another how Job got into such trouble with Satan. Both of those had a ring of Truth in my Spirit.

Both of those had a ring of Truth in my Spirit.

Definitely will give the Pseudepigrapha a look, then. :o) Thanks for the recommendation!

While many of the early Christian writings had a large number of exaggerations and misinterpretations to it, my feeling is that the staggering number of 1st and 2nd century people so inspired by Jesus's lessons that they went out and wrote their own gospel points to a very real and very, very influential Man behind it all.
