Stories Not in the Bible

From the publisher:

Stories Not in the Bible collects seven sacred books that were passed down by Orthodox scribes for almost 2000 years, before they were forgotten in modern times. Here we encounter stories such as Adam and Eve's struggle to survive outside Paradise, Enoch’s journeys to the heavenly realm, and Christ’s descent into the underworld. The stories are part of the Orthodox Tradition, and are told again in this book for the Orthodox lay reader, translated from the original languages and introduced by Orthodox theologian and psaltis Nicholas Roumas. These seven stories will delight, fascinate, and disturb readers with their fairy-tale-like narrative power, bold theological reflections, and wild views on human life.

About the Author: Nicholas Roumas is an Orthodox theologian, psaltis, and composer of liturgical music. His books include The Musical Ark, Redemption: A Mimetic Soteriology, and a translation of the Psalter. He is a native and resident of Massachusetts and teaches theology at Hellenic College.
