The Archko Volume

The Archko Volume is a 19th-century American book that presents itself as a translation of ancient texts related to the life of Jesus. This volume contains a collection of reports allegedly from Jewish and pagan sources that were contemporary with Jesus, offering insights into the events described in biblical accounts of his life. The book has undergone multiple versions since its initial release and has continued to be published to this day.

Despite its enduring presence in print, The Archko Volume has been the subject of controversy. The authenticity of the texts it contains has been questioned, as they are not found in any other known sources. Furthermore, the author of the volume was formally convicted by an ecclesiastical court on charges of falsehood and plagiarism, casting significant doubt on the book's credibility and the accuracy of its contents.
