Why it matters
The substantially extant Coptic Apocalypse of Elijah, transmitted principally in Coptic and associated with fragmentary Greek evidence. Helpful Saints treats it as a distinct textual tradition and makes its content, parallels, provenance questions, and scholarly disagreements researchable without treating it as canonical Scripture.
