Opis
The object aimed at this article is to introduce to the Polish reader some of the most important apoeryphal writings about the Passion, and Resurrection of Christ. Two of the chief documents are dealt with at some length and translated, i. e., the Gospel of Peter and that of Nicodemus or the Acts of Pilate. The other are just touched and some interesting points are brought to light. The Gospel of Peter, it is comtended here, to be on the whole an orthodox writing, containing however some ambiguous expressions, which may probably be interpreted in an unorthodox sense. For it seems to throw doubt on the reality of Christ’s sufferings on the Cross and in consequence also upon the reality of his human body compromising in that way with the Docetic views. Another trait of this Gospel is its extremely anti-Jewish attitude: the blame for the condamnation of Jesus and his crucifixion is thrown on the Jews wherever possible. However, the main purpose of this Gospel is to vindicate the fact of Christ’s Resurrection. But, alas, the proofs put forward by the Pseudo-Peter, the authour of the Gospel, rest on fiction. In spite of these shortcomings the Gospel of Peter is greatly valued as the earliest uncanonical account of the Passion and Resurrection, for it was composed as early as the first half of the second Century. The Acts of Pilate are of the fourth century, but may contain, as most authours admit they do, some elements from the older writings, now lost for us. There seems to be nothing unorthodox about them and they can be read by anyone with some advantage in as much as they contain a very vivid description of the judicial Process of Our Lord, his crucifixion and Resurrection, shedding by the same time light on the functioning of Sanhedrin and such men as Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea. The Acts of Pilate are valued chiefly because of many interesting details, which they add to the canonical accounts. One should remember, however, that in them not everything is historically reliable.
