My book, The Super Gospel, A Harmony of Ancient Gospels, is available for purchase below. This is not a work of fiction, but a genuine Gospel harmony, comprised of over a hundred ancient Christian sources, laid out in chronological order from the history of Jesus’ parents all the way through his post-resurrection teachings and ascension. The mere fact that it can be done at all is momentous. The fact that it can be made to be so beautiful and fascinating and intricate is a testament to the pure genius of God. A link to the full version, compiled, integrated and read by myself, is available here for your listening pleasure:    • The Super Gospel, by Robert C Ferrell...

The Apocalypse of Paul is a 4th-century text of the New Testament apocrypha. There is an Ethiopic version of the Apocalypse which features the Virgin Mary in the place of Paul the Apostle, as the receiver of the vision, known as the Apocalypse of the Virgin. The text is not to be confused with the gnostic Apocalypse of Paul, which is unlikely to be related.

The text appears to be an elaborate expansion and rearrangement of the Apocalypse of Peter, and is essentially a description of a vision of Heaven, and then of Hell -- although it also contains a prologue describing all creation appealing to God against the sin of man, which is not present in Peter's Apocalypse. At the end of the text, Paul/Mary manages to persuade God to give everyone in Hell a day off every Sunday.

The text extends Peter's Apocalypse by framing the reasons for the visits to heaven and hell as the witnessing of the death and judgment of one wicked man, and one who is righteous. The text is heavily moralistic, and adds, to the Apocalypse of Peter, features such as:
Pride is the root of all evil
Heaven is the land of milk and honey
Hell has rivers of fire and of ice (for the cold hearted)
Some angels are evil, the dark angels of hell, including Temeluchus, the tartaruchi.
Plan of the book
1, 2. Discovery of the revelation.
3--6. Appeal of creation to God against man
7--10. The report of the angels to God about men.
