Gospel Of The Nazarenes

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Gospel of the Nazarenes is the hypothetical name given by some scholars to distinguish some of the references to, or citations of, non-canonical Jewish-Christian Gospels extant in patristic writings from other citations believed to derive from different Gospels, identified as the Gospel according to the Hebrews and/or Gospel of the Ebionites. The standard critical edition of the text is found in Schneemelcher's New Testament Apocrypha, where 36 verses, GN 1 to GN 36, are collated. GN 1 to GN 23 are mainly from Jerome, GN 24 to GN 36 are from medieval sources. The hypothetical name refers to a possible identification with the Nazarene community of Roman period Palestine. It is a hypothetical gospel, which may or may not be the same as, or derived from, the Gospel according to the Hebrews or the canonical Gospel of Matthew.
