Reidar Aasgaard’s The Childhood of Jesus
I'd like to congratulate Reidar Aasgaard on the publication of his new book, The Childhood of Jesus: Decoding the Apocryphal Gospel of Thomas. Reidar has been working for several years now on this text; some of you may have seen him present his work at the meetings of the SBL or AELAC. This is the first book devoted solely to Infancy Thomas in quite some time (the most recent being Thomas Rosen's excellent study, The Slavonic Translation of the Apocryphal Infancy Gospel of Thomas in 1997). Best of luck Reidar. For more information , download the promotional PDF here.
I’ve been following the works of Mr. Aasgaard since the 2004 “My Beloved Brothers and Sisters: Christian Siblingship in Paul” which researches family and sibling relationships in the Greco-Roman and Jewish context. Very insightful writings.
