Christian apocrypha

Synopsis

LLM-authored synopsis Not an article

Christian apocrypha is represented here as a small published cluster with a narrower frontier. The lost Dialogue of Jason and Papiscus gives the article frame; Lost Book of Elchasai behind patristic fragment witnesses marks what still has to remain open.

The lost Dialogue of Jason and Papiscus has Quotient 36/100, and its existence warrant 84 is stronger than its direct attestation 70. Book of Elchasai points to transmission and source-layer questions that remain interpretive.
