About THE HISTORY OF JOSEPH THE CARPENTER

This app features the apocryphal book, The History of Joseph the Carpenter.

The History of Joseph the Carpenter (Historia Josephi Fabri Lignari) is a compilation of traditions concerning Mary (mother of Jesus), Joseph, and the "holy family," probably composed in Byzantine Egypt in Greek in the late 6th or early 7th century, but surviving only in Coptic and Arabic language translation. The text gives support to the doctrine of perpetual virginity of Mary.

It is one of the texts within the New Testament apocrypha concerned with the period of Jesus' life before he was 12.

The text is framed as an explanation by Jesus on the Mount of Olives concerning the life of Joseph the Carpenter, his stepfather. Agreeing with Mary's continued virginity, the text proclaims that Joseph had four sons (Judas, Justus, James, and Simon) and two daughters (Assia and Lydia) by a previous marriage.

This Joseph the Carpenter app contains the full content of the apocryphal book in bite-sized sections.
