Each gospel, whether canonical or non-canonical, offers a new narrative of ancient Christianity and a new interpretation of its foundational figure. This book puts ‘dialogue gospels’ into conversation with texts from the New Testament, and offers an in-depth analysis of the Gospel of Mary. The introductory chapter discusses the purpose and the premises of the book and introduces the concept of examining early Christian literature through the arrangement of a rhizome. The non-linear rhizomatic arrangement allows any point to be connected to any other point, and this allows a fresh appreciation of the field of gospel literature.
