Gospel of the Hebrews
The
Gospel of the Hebrews
, or
Gospel according to the Hebrews
, was a
syncretic
Jewish–Christian gospel
which survives only as brief quotations by the early
Church Fathers
which preserve fragments of the original text. The fragments contain traditions of
Jesus' pre-existence
,
incarnation
,
baptism
, and probable
temptation
, along with some of his
sayings
. Distinctive features include a
Christology
characterized by the belief that the
Holy Spirit
is Jesus'
Divine Mother
and a first
resurrection appearance
to
James, the brother of Jesus
, showing a high regard for James as the leader of the
Jewish Christian church in Jerusalem
. It was probably composed in
Greek
in the first decades of the 2nd century, and is believed to have been used by Greek-speaking
Jewish Christians
in Egypt during that century.
