The Gospel of Nicodemus and Its Place in Tradition
The podcast explores the Gospel of Nicodemus, an apocryphal New Testament text, which contains traditions not included in the Bible. Despite not being part of the Scriptures, the text holds a significant place in Orthodox liturgical practices, specifically categorized as a 'Book to Be Read at Home.' This illustrates the distinction made in the ancient church regarding different types of texts used for worship and personal reading.
