This is a compilation of ancient books attributed to the writings of the
apostles of Jesus Christ and their disciples. These books were once
regarded with reverence by the early Christian Church during the first
four centuries. After violent disputations by the Bishops of the Nicene
Council, these books were forbidden and omitted from the Catholic and
Protestant Editions of the New Testament in the reign of the Emperor
Constantine. The "Forbidden Books" have been translated from the
original tongues, with historical references to their authenticity, BY
ARCHBISHOP WAKE AND OTHER LEARNED DIVINES.
About the Author:
William Wake (1657-1737), English archbishop, was born in Blandford Forum, Dorset, on January 26 1657, and educated at Christ Church, Oxford.
He took orders, and in 1682 went to Paris as chaplain to the ambassador Richard Graham, Viscount Preston (1648-1695). Here he became acquainted with many of the savants of the capital, and was much interested in French clerical affairs. He also collated some Paris manuscripts of the Greek Testament for John Fell, bishop of Oxford.
He returned to England in 1685; in 1688 he became preacher at Gray's Inn, and in 1689 he received a canonry of Christ Church, Oxford. In 1693 he was appointed rector of St James's, Westminster. Ten years later he became dean of Exeter, and in 1705 he was consecrated bishop of Lincoln. He was translated to the see of Canterbury in 1716 on the death of Thomas Tenison.
During 1718 he negotiated with leading French churchmen about a projected union of the Gallican and English churches to resist the claims of Rome (see J. H. Lupton, Archbishop Wake and the Project of Union, 1896). In dealing with nonconformity he was tolerant, and even advocated a revision of the Prayer Book if that would allay the scruples of dissenters.
His writings are numerous, the chief being his State of the Church and Clergy of England ... historically deduced (London, 1703). He died at Lambeth on January 24 1736/7 (courtesy of Wikipedia).
