About this audiobook
The four canonical gospels contain little information about the childhood of Jesus. To provide details of this period, a number of infancy gospels were composed in the second century, the text of this recording being one of the most notable. In this book, the sketchy infancy narrative of the Gospels of Matthew and Luke is embellished in great detail. The events of Jesus’ boyhood days, richly garnished with tales of miraculous feats and the occasional visitation of punishment on unfortunate delinquents, are also described.
Heinrich Siecke (1668–1712), who Anglicised his name to Henry Sike, was a prominent “Orientalist.” He was was a gifted linguist, conversant with Turkish, Persian, Armenian, Arabic, Russian, and many Western languages.View all by Henry Sike
