Did you know the Gospels has a prequel?
Not another Gospel, this is not canon, but the story of Joseph and Mary and what happened to them before they met. Remarkable.
From the blurb “The four canonical Gospels, which are universally accepted by Christians as the inspired Word of God, present a synopsis of the most essential elements of the life, death and Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Yet, in themselves, they tell us little about the life of the Virgin Mary, or Joseph, or even the childhood and youth of Jesus himself.”
What makes this story remarkable is that it is found in so many other languages, Greek, Latin, Syriac, Coptic, Ethiopian, Arabic and Old Slavonic. A story 1800 years old.
