Description

The Gospel of Abgar, translated here for the first time by Daniel Deleanu, PhD, is a segment of the Greek part of the Jordan Lead Codices, which incorporates among other texts the epistle sent by Abgar to Jesus and its reply, and a short prophecy made by Jesus. Based on this and on the fact that the lead codices were found sealed, some have speculated that they are actually the lost collection of sealed books mentioned in the Book of Revelation, claiming that they refer to the second coming of Christ. These are Abgar's words: "...he made us know that which would be revealed at the end of times, and in the demise of all creatures." The Gospel of Abgar, which may date to as early as 33 AD, may be older than the canonical books of the New Testament. This makes it extremely valuable for Biblical scholarship, especially since it may also contain the first historically attested mandylion (portrait of Christ) ever. This is a book that is meant to become one of the required readings of the 21st century, and not only.
