This is the Secret Book of James, an apocryphal book of The New Testament.
The Secret Book of James, also known as the Apocryphon of James, is a pseudonymous text amongst the New Testament apocrypha. It describes the secret teachings of Jesus to Peter and James, given after the Resurrection but before the Ascension.
A major theme of the Secret Book of James is that one must accept suffering as inevitable. The prominence of James and Peter suggest that the work originated in the Jewish Christian community. It shows no dependence on canonical texts, and was probably written in the first half of the 2nd century. It has Gnostic affinities but cannot be attributed to any Gnostic sect, and some scholars rule that it is not Gnostic at all.
This original translation of The Secret Book of James (Nag Hammadi Codex I, 2) is accompanied by "read-along" explanations for better understanding.
