Acts of Philip

Have you ever wondered why the earliest Christian stories featuring talking animals, ancient dragons, and magical showdowns were completely banished from the Bible?

The Acts of Philip is one of the most action-packed and imaginative texts ever written. This apocryphal narrative expands Philip's life into a grand, supernatural epic that was condemned by orthodox authorities for its wild miracles and extreme ascetic philosophies.

The text follows Philip, his sister Mariamne, and the apostle Bartholomew into Hierapolis, the "City of the Viper," where Philip performs jaw-dropping miracles — most notably converting a wild leopard and a goat who are granted human speech.

What You Will Discover in This Translation:

• The Mission to the Viper’s City — Philip’s perilous journey to confront the deadly serpent cult.
• The Miracles of the Wilderness — The talking leopard and goat who travel alongside the apostle.
• The Upside-Down Crucifixion — The terrifying final moments of Philip’s martyrdom.
