Horne is a comprehensive study of the religious literature and sacred texts of the East. The book explores the origins and development of the Apocrypha, a collection of biblical texts that were not included in the official canon of the Bible. Horne discusses the historical and cultural context in which these texts were written, as well as their significance for understanding the religious beliefs and practices of ancient civilizations.The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides an overview of the Apocrypha and its place in the history of biblical scholarship. Horne discusses the various texts that make up the Apocrypha, including the Wisdom of Solomon, the Book of Tobit, and the Gospel of Thomas. He also examines the controversies surrounding the inclusion of these texts in the Bible and the reasons why they were ultimately rejected by the early Christian church.The second part of the book focuses on the early literature of the East, including the sacred texts of Hinduism, Buddhism, and Taoism. Horne explores the philosophical and religious ideas that are expressed in these texts, as well as their impact on the development of Eastern spirituality.Overall, Sacred Books and Early Literature of the East: The Great Rejected Books of the Biblical Apocrypha is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of religion and the development of sacred texts. Horne's insightful analysis and detailed research provide a fascinating glimpse into the religious beliefs and practices of ancient civilizations, and shed light on the enduring significance of these texts for contemporary readers.Chief Writings which have Sought and Been Denied Admission to the Bible; The Lives of Adam and Eve; Apocalypse of Moses; Slavonic Book of Eve; Great Prophetic Book of Enoch; Lost Books of Noah; Apocalypse of Baruch; Story of Ahikar; Gospels of Christ's Childhood; An Arabic Gospel of the Infancy; Gospels of Nicodemus; Bibliography and more!This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

- a***r (250)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseBeautiful items, just as described & pictured. Thanks to superior packaging---lots of bubble wrap and packing paper---these fragile pieces withstood excessive manhandling by USPS. Seller shipped promptly, but USPS kept bouncing package back and forth between two different distribution centers. Took exceedingly long to arrive, all due to USPS, not the shipper. Great experience with this seller, though. Thanks a million!
- e***e (37)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchase⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding Seller! I couldn’t be happier with this purchase! The shoes arrived quickly and were exactly as described—brand new, pristine, and an incredible value. What really impressed me was the care taken in packaging: each shoe was individually wrapped in bubble wrap and securely boxed, showing true attention to detail and customer satisfaction. Highly recommend this seller for their professionalism, fast shipping, and unbeatable deals. Will definitely shop here again!
