“New Testament Apocrypha” is a category for early Christian writings—typically from the 2nd to 5th centuries—that are attributed to apostles or New Testament figures but were not included in the canonical New Testament. It covers non-canonical gospels, acts, letters, and apocalypses that expand on Jesus’ life, the apostles, and early Christian communities (for example, the Gospel of Thomas or Peter, the Protoevangelium of James, the Acts of Paul and Thecla, and the Apocalypse of Peter). Often pseudonymous and preserved in languages such as Greek, Coptic, Syriac, and Latin, these texts range from devotional narratives to doctrinal or visionary works and reveal the diversity of early Christian belief and practice. Books in this category may include translations of the texts, critical editions, and scholarly studies of their origins, contents, and reception.
