  Margaret Brennan, IHM, and Nancy Sylvester, IHM, joined a group of 17 other scholars and spiritual leaders invited to study many of the lost scriptures that have been discovered, authenticated, translated and debated over these past years as part of a project initiated by Hal Taussig. The result is A New New Testament, A Bible for the 21st Century, which embodies a new way of thinking about what belongs in the heritage of early Christianity. By placing some of the newly discovered texts alongside the traditional ones it invites the reader to see how this new mix illuminates spiritual seeking, ethical issues, patterns of belief and social practice. Edited by Hal Taussig, the book can be ordered through either Barnes and Noble or Amazon.
