Dibelius, A fresh approach to the New Testament and early Christian literature. London, 1936, p. 94). Not in E. J. Goodspeed (Modern Apocrypha. Boston, 1956) or P. Beskow (Strange tales about Jesus. Philadelphia, 1985); perhaps more a fantasy than a forgery.</span><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="https://catalyst.library.jhu.edu/catalog/bib_4103011" rel="ugc nofollow">Click here to view the Johns Hopkins University catalog record.</a></span></span></p>
