Fred Lapham, An Introduction to the New Testament Apocrypha (London & New York: T & T Clark, 2003)
Review by Leslie Houlden
But in one case the editor’s campaign has already had a resounding victory, in every school and church in the land.

Now, none of the canonical writers thought of that, did they; and is it not wonderful?
