Extracanonical nativity narratives - where are they?
Hi, all. Quick question:
I know there's a tale in the Infancy Gospel of James. Are there any other ancient nativity narratives besides James, Matthew and Luke? Thanks! --Ben |

There is an Infancy Gospel of Thomas as well.
These are the two biggies (Infancy Matthew and Infancy Thomas) in this kind of research. regards, Peter Kirby |

Ah, I did not know about Pseudo-Matthew (AKA Infancy Matthew). However, I can't find any nativity narrative in Infancy Thomas, but just anecdotes about Jesus' adolescence.
