The Perfect Heresy. The Life and Death of the Cathars
“Fakes, Forgeries, and Fictions: Writing Ancient and Modern Christian Apocrypha” by Tony Burke is a compelling exploration of the fascinating world of Christian apocryphal literature, both ancient and modern. In this meticulously researched and thought-provoking book, Burke delves into the origins, significance, and impact of these writings, shedding light on the complex interplay between truth and fiction in the Christian tradition.
Burke begins by taking readers on a journey through the ancient Christian world, where numerous texts were composed but ultimately excluded from the canonical New Testament. These apocryphal writings, often attributed to figures such as Peter, Mary Magdalene, or even Jesus himself, offer alternative narratives, teachings, and miracles that challenge the established orthodoxy. Burke examines the motivations behind the creation of these texts, whether it be to provide spiritual guidance, assert theological ideas, or even perpetrate deliberate forgeries.
