In the Gospel of the Hebrews, you will discover a fascinating and vital piece of early Christian history that challenges much of what we know about the origins of the faith. Before Christianity became a dominant Roman religion, it began as a vibrant Jewish movement. The earliest believers-often known as Nazarenes or Ebionites-read and revered texts that reflected their deep Jewish roots. Chief among these was the Gospel of the Hebrews, a text that many early Church leaders believed was the original, Hebrew-language version of the Gospel of Matthew.
Far more than a simple historical footnote, this collection of surviving fragments reveals a very different portrait of Jesus and his teachings. It features parables found nowhere else, a unique post-resurrection appearance to James the Just, and a fascinating theological framework where the Holy Spirit is depicted as a nurturing, maternal figure.
By gathering the surviving quotations scattered across the writings of ancient historians and theologians, this book reconstructs the spirit and message of a community that lived at the very crossroads of Judaism and early Christianity.
