Jesus of Nazareth
The Epistle of the Apostles
Later compilation
The Epistle of the Apostles
Epistula Apostolorum
A dialogue between the risen Jesus and his disciples on the incarnation, the resurrection of the flesh, judgement and mission, written to defend the common faith against the Gnostics. It is one of the oldest examples of the "dialogues with the Risen One", a genre that Gnostic literature cultivated for other ends.
