Professor Burke is a graduate of Wilfrid Laurier University (BA, MA) and the University of Toronto (Ph. D.). While writing a Masters paper on Magic and Miracle, he became interested in a little-known non-canonical gospel called the Infancy Gospel of Thomas, which features stories of Jesus when he was a child. He pursued that interest into his doctoral work; his thesis, 'The Infancy Gospel of Thomas: The Text, its Origins, and its Transmission,' included a new critical edition of the text drawing upon a range of published and unpublished manuscripts. The thesis will be published in 2010 in the series Corpus Christianorum Series Apocryphorum. Tony continues to work on non-canonical Christian texts (or 'Christian Apocrypha'), and has work-in-progress on a handbook of the Christian Apocrypha, an edition of the History of the Thirty Silver Pieces (the amount given to Judas to betray Jesus), an edition of the Infancy Gospel of Thomas in Syriac, and a study on curses and curse stories in the biblical world. Information on these projects can be obtained from a look at his web site and Apocryphicity blog. [Source][1] [1]: https://profiles.laps.yorku.ca/profiles/tburke/
