A Collection of Modern Apocrypha
We spend so much of our time studying ancient or medieval apocrypha that we neglect the modern apocrypha in our midst. Fortunately, many of these texts are collected in Laurie F. Maffly-Kipp's American Scriptures: An Anthology of Sacred Writings (Penguin, 2010). Included here are excerpts from the Book of Mormon, Thomas Jefferson's Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth, The Occult Life of Jesus of Nazareth,The Rise and progress of the Kingdoms of Light and Darkness, The Great Controversy Between Christ and Satan, The Woman's Bible, The Unknown Life of Christ, the Autobiography of Jesus of Nazareth,The Archko Volume, The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ and others. No Secret Mark, though.
Interesting indeed. The Archko volume was still a live issue on the web 10 years ago, and I took the trouble to obtain copies of it and its predecessor.
How does this book compare to the volumes like “Modern apocrypha” by Goodspeed or Per Beskow?
