(The Holy Family in Egypt)-Paul Perrys-JESUS IN EGYPT

The Bible contains but a few verses about the years the Holy Family spent in Egypt - their flight from Herod's death sentence, the weary journey, their return to Israel. But what exactly happened to Jesus and his parents in this ancient land of magic and myth? How did the sojourn in Egypt change Jesus' life and influence his teachings? By pouring over narratives of the apocrypha and the traditions of the Coptic Orthodox church, Paul Perry was able to follow the Holy Family's route through Egypt - from their entrance across the burning sands of the Sinai Desert to their zigzagging path down the Nile.

Part travel-adventure, part spiritual journey, part historical detective story, JESUS IN EGYPT recounts a modern-day pilgrimage into an ancient and often baffling land. In the basements of Coptic churches and the teeming back streets of Cairo, in shrines thronged by worshipers and desert wastes haunted bysaints, Perry turns up shards of the past, tales passed down through countless generations, and reveals a very different side of Jesus than we get in the Bible.

AbounaZarabbas: Some of the stories sound like the Gospel of Thomas which is said to be Gnostic. Now if the Coptic Egyptians said the appearing of wells and the crumbling of idols happened and have monments, landmarks and building to prove it - it must be true. Do you think that all of the infancy Gospel is true? It is part of the Apocrypha.
