Set after the resurrection, it follows the apostle and other disciples as they question Jesus about the realm of the dead, his birth, and the adversary. Each question opens onto a scene rather than another chapter in a life of Jesus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this ancient Christian text, Bartholomew asks what happens when Jesus descends into Hades. He also asks to see the devil. According to the narrative, Jesus warns him before the adversary appears in bonds. Written by an unknown author under Bartholomew's name, this work stands outside the New Testament and explores early Christian ideas about heaven, temptation, and evil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInside this book\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuestions beyond the visible\u003c\/strong\u003e – Follow Bartholomew as his bold questions turn hidden realms into scenes of encounter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe descent into Hades\u003c\/strong\u003e – Explore the text's dramatic account of Christ entering the realm of the dead.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe adversary in bonds\u003c\/strong\u003e – Read a tense interrogation about the adversary's origins and methods of temptation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuestions about Jesus's birth\u003c\/strong\u003e – Discover how the dialogue reaches beyond Hades to ask about Jesus's birth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBeyond the New Testament\u003c\/strong\u003e – Encounter an apocryphal work that uses conversation to explore an unseen spiritual world.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfect for readers of early Christian writings outside the New Testament and anyone curious about ancient ideas of Hades and Satan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOpen the first page and follow Bartholomew into a conversation full of bold questions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Library of Alexandria Press","offers":[{"title":"eBook","offer_id":58108742107484,"sku":"LOA-1-EB","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":58108742140252,"sku":"LOA-1-AU","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":58113770684764,"sku":"LOA-1-PB","price":5.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":58113771045212,"sku":"LOA-1-HC","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1027\/9442\/8764\/files\/loa-forbidden-00001-en.png?v=1792190102","url":"https:\/\/libraryofalexandria.com\/it\/products\/loa-gospel-of-bartholomew","provider":"The Library of Alexandria","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
