| 520 | |a The recent progress made in the critical study of the Christian apocrypha does not always seem to be reflected in the current writings on theology and church history. In the present article, after an overview of the apocrypha in general and an analysis of the Acts of Thomas (ATh) in particular, the author reviews comparative studies on the five principal apocryphal Acts of the Apostles (Peter, Paul, John, Andrew and Thomas). These Acts are not mere fiction but rather they reflect and build on the tradition concerning the life and ministry of these Apostles: Rome (Peter and Paul), Ephesus (John), Achaea or Greece (Andrew) and India (Thomas). In particular, the critical study of the ATh, which is still in progress, has to take account of the tradition about Christian origins in India attributed to the Apostle Thomas. This tradition is both Indian and Western, but has long been wrongly presumed to originate from the ATh, which is often dismissed as unhistorical. But a comparative study of the five principal apocryphal Acts of the Apostles leads to the conclusion that the narrative in the ATh about the mission to and martyrdom of the Apostle Thomas in India is based on historical facts. I recenti progressi degli studi critici sugli apocrifi cristiani non sembrano sempre riflettersi negli scritti attuali di teologia e di storia della Chiesa. Dopo un percorso generale sugli apocrifi e in particolare un'analisi degli Atti di Tommaso (ATh), l'articolo esamina alcuni studi comparativi di cinque apocrifi principali degli Atti degli Apostoli (Pietro, Paolo, Giovanni, Andrea e Tommaso). Questi Atti non sono semplici finzioni; riflettono piuttosto e si costruiscono partendo dalla tradizione che concerne la vita e il ministero degli Apostoli: Roma (Pietro e Paolo), Efeso (Giovanni), Acaia e Grecia (Andrea) e India (Tommaso). Lo studio critico degli ATh, che è ancora in fieri, deve fare i conti con la tradizione delle origini cristiane in India attribuite all'apostolo Andrea. Questa tradizione è a un tempo indiana e occidentale, ma si è per lungo tempo ritenuta per errore originata negli ATh, spesso scartati perché non storici. Uno studio comparativo dei cinque apocrifi principali degli Atti degli Apostoli conduce alla conclusione che il racconto negli ATh della missione e del martirio dell'apostolo Tommaso in India è fondato su fatti storici. | ||
