The Hidden Gospels
A Reader’s Edition of Early Christian Texts
Eleven early Christian writings from outside the New Testament, collected in one hardback. Inside you’ll find sayings attributed to Jesus, visions and secret teachings, stories of his childhood and death, and gospels that survive only in fragments.
It’s made for reading, not research: a compact size that’s easy to hold, wide margins, simple headings, and a single clean column of text.

Why this edition
The text comes first.
Many collections of these texts are academic anthologies, heavy with footnotes and commentary. This one is meant to read like a real book instead, with a simple design that stays out of the way.
It’s for readers who want to spend time with the texts themselves, in a book that still feels old and a little sacred.
