Its surviving fragment begins during Jesus’ trial and follows his suffering, death, and burial. Guards and a sealed entrance make the tomb a watched setting as the narrative moves toward its resurrection account.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe account also shifts familiar roles. Herod bears greater responsibility, while Pilate appears more removed from Jesus’ execution. These differences offer a way into early Christian storytelling and disputes over Jesus’ humanity. Some early Christians read a gospel under Peter’s name; Serapion of Antioch questions teachings he associates with its use at Rhossus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInside this book\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA watched and sealed tomb\u003c\/strong\u003e – Follow the burial and the efforts to secure the setting of the resurrection account.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA fragment from Egypt\u003c\/strong\u003e – Explore an account found at Akhmim, with neither a complete opening nor a complete conclusion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFamiliar figures, different roles\u003c\/strong\u003e – Consider how this narrative places Herod and Pilate in a different light.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA protest amid suffering\u003c\/strong\u003e – Read how one criminal crucified beside Jesus protests against his treatment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAn account under question\u003c\/strong\u003e – Explore a text that opens questions about early Christian belief and the biblical canon.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfect for readers interested in early Christianity, the formation of the Bible, and unfamiliar accounts of Jesus’ final days.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOpen the first page now and encounter this surviving fragment’s unfamiliar account of Jesus’ final days.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Library of Alexandria Press","offers":[{"title":"eBook","offer_id":58111214911836,"sku":"LOA-23-EB","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":58111214944604,"sku":"LOA-23-AU","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":58113772290396,"sku":"LOA-23-PB","price":5.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1027\/9442\/8764\/files\/23.jpg?v=1781944582","url":"https:\/\/libraryofalexandria.com\/fr\/products\/loa-gospel-of-peter","provider":"The Library of Alexandria","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
