		The apocryphal books of the New Testament are categorised as gospels (infancy gospels, passion gospels), Acts, Epistles and Apocalypses.
		Besides the four recognised gospels of the Christian Churches, there are no canonically recognised gospels.
		The gospel of Thomas is considered by the Church as an apocryphal gospel (that is, a gospel not recognised officially or canonically).

		The Infancy Gospel of James itself may have been dependent on a harmony of Matthew and Luke, but in any case it stands in the harmonizing spirit of the era before the four canonical gospels were considered to be sacred scripture.
		Cameron identifies three different sources for the Infancy Gospel of James: extracanonical traditions, the Old Testament, and the Gospels of Matthew and Luke.
		In The Other Gospels, Ron Cameron says that the name Protevangelium "implies that most of the events recorded in this 'initial gospel' of James occur prior to those recorded in the gospels of the New Testament." The gospel received this name when it was first published in the sixteenth century.

		Professor Thundy argues that many details of the infancy gospels as well as the rest of the gospels can be clarified by the Buddhist and Hindu scriptures.
		The infancy narratives of the gospels of Matthew and Luke appear as a magnificent mosaic of allusions not only to the Hebrew Bible but also to Buddhist and Hindu religious traditions.
		In this sense, the gospels are Eastern religious texts.

		The few instances where a strange language is used in the Gospels are cases of the use of Aramaic, which was not strange in the original setting.
		Often a tie is established in the Gospels between the miracle and a claim by Jesus; never so in the Greek tales.
		Yet the Gospels would write it up according to appearances, much as we speak of the sun as rising, when we know it does not at all do that.

	Tibet
		The infancy gospels are all pious in a naive and superstitious way, and most of them are also pretty hilarious, reminding us how hard it is to tell when ancient writers meant to be taken literally, or even seriously.
		James covers pretty much the same territory as the infancy narratives of the canonical gospels (Matthew chapters 1 and 2; Luke chapters 1 and 2), namely the angelic annunciations of Jesus' miraculous conception and birth, visits of shepherds and wise men, and some other interesting details.
		Anyone who has read the various infancy gospels knows how early Christian imagination felt impelled to fill the space between Jesus' nativity and his maturity by creating a raft of divine child stories.

	ummah.com forum - Mary and Isa under a date-palm:a parellel between the Quran and Pseudo-Matthew Gospel
		The infancy gospels of the 2nd and 5th centuries were not an honest attempt to record Jesus's childhood, they were just fabricated tales meant to satisfy the early Christian's curiosity to know what Jesus's early childhood was like.
		The Gospelers were good people who gave an honest effort in tracing and recording Christ's life, and since they didn't know enough about Jesus's early life, the Gospels are silent on Jesus's early life.
		The Jesus of the Gospels, who you believe is a false image of Jesus, IS the real Jesus.

	Questions on the Miracles of Jesus
		The Infancy Gospels purport to describe the life and teaching of Jesus when he was a boy, during the years from 0-12.
		Accordingly, with the theoretical exception of the Infancy Gospels (of doubtful relevance to this question at all), there simply are no such 'expanded gospels', in the sense required by this theory.
		Irenaeus does not specify whether he quotes it from an infancy gospel, but he does contrast his source for the logion with “the true scriptures,” suggesting he knew it as part of a text which some (the gnostic Marcosians) apparently considered as authoritative.

	Jesus at School
		The Syriac infancy gospel translated from a manuscript of the 13th or 14th century adds a note of hostility absent from Luke, and which in the earlier recensions of the infancy gospels is reserved for the lower school teachers.
		In the Syriac infancy gospel, as in some of the Thomas infancy gospels, "Christ among the doctors" is the culmination of the series in which Jesus has progressively subordinated his would-be teachers.
		Of the extant infancy gospels and related illuminations, this is the only instance of its kind that has come to light.

	Gospel of James - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Gospel of James is one of several surviving Infancy Gospels that give an idea of the miracle literature that was created to satisfy the hunger of early Christians for more detail about the early life of their Savior.
		Other "infancy gospels" in this tradition include The Infancy Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Pseudo-Matthew (based on the Protevangelium of James, and on the Infancy Gospel of Thomas), and the so-called Arabic Infancy Gospel; all of which were regarded by the church as apocryphal.
		Among further traditions not present in the four canonical gospels are the birth of Jesus in a cave, and the martyrdom of John the Baptist's father Zechariah during the slaughter of the infants.

	Ancient Journey
		This raises a contentious question: why didn't the other infancy gospels (the gospels that describe the events surrounding Jesus' birth) mention the Magi?
		The Magi are mentioned in only one of the gospels, Matthew, and their story is told in less than 300 words.
		Matthew is intentionally simple and brief in his narrative, omitting these details.

	THE SON OF GOD AT 12 YEARS OLD - (Luke 2:41-52) - John Piper
		This is the only story in the gospels about Jesus between His infancy and His public ministry as a man. Some have argued that the story is a legend created by the early church to fill in some of the gaps in their knowledge of Jesus' life.
		First of all we should be aware that in the second and third centuries many legends arose about the boy Jesus and were put into numerous apocryphal gospels --accounts of Jesus which the early church rejected as not having the authority of the four earliest gospels which we have in the New Testament.
