The inclusion of the tour of hell in one of the manuscripts of the Acts of Philip and not another raises the question how this banned apocryphal writing, most probably a product of a fringe community from the fifth-sixth century, anchors itself in the Holy Scriptures, in doctrinal discussions on the after-life, the genre tours of hell, and in the other so-called apocryphal acts of the apostles. The importance of this project is seen in its exposing the closer narrative relations between the canonical and non-canonical writings, and shows how, in the case of ActPhil, this foreign corpus is integral in the whole work, even as the work functions equally well without it. In this piece of original research, which is planned to run for three years, in light of the preceding but limited literature, the narrative style of the Tour of Hell in ActPhil 1 will be analysed using a three-tier approach to style: 1. identification or characterisation; 2 technique or method, how composed and how read; 3. quality and language register. This text with its strong moral codes will be compared to its clear sources, to illustrate the continuity and discontinuity of thought between the official church confessions and the popular religious literature, between the canonical and the non-canonical, and across the inter-religious divide of Jewish, Christian and Islamic writings. The project will base its orientation on the allusions and common material in the sources to ascertain how the author of ActPhil went to work, incorporating the tour of hell into his greater work to form a sensible whole. A comparison will be drawn between the two noted manuscripts, the one containing the tour and the other not, and the clear redactional activity that has brought about two clearly different but justified readings. Within the redaction activity of the Acts of Philip it is clear how the attitudes of the reading community (the main stream church) helped shape the final text on the missionary activities of the revered Apostle Philip with a strong moralistic undertone. Today too, we find community expectations shaping religious discourse, though probably more diversely than in antiquity. Ironically, the author of ActPhil has anchored his work in a religious and literary tradition that has rejected him.

地狱之旅只出现在《腓力行传》的一部手稿中，而不是另一部手稿中，这就提出了一个问题，即这种被禁止的伪经写作，很可能是世纪一个边缘群体的产物，是如何在《圣经》中、在关于来世的教义讨论中、在地狱图尔斯的类型中以及在使徒们的其他所谓伪经行为中锚定自己的。这个项目的重要性在于它揭示了正典和非正典作品之间更紧密的叙事关系，并表明，在ActPhil的情况下，这个外国语料库是如何在整个作品中不可或缺的，即使没有它，作品也同样运作良好。在这项计划进行三年的原创研究中，根据之前有限的文献，《地狱之旅》的叙事风格将采用三层风格分析方法进行分析：1.识别或表征; 2技术或方法，如何组成和如何阅读; 3.质量和语言记录。本书将以其强有力的道德规范与其明确的来源进行比较，以说明官方教会忏悔与流行宗教文献之间，正典与非正典之间，以及犹太教、基督教和伊斯兰教著作之间的宗教分歧之间思想的连续性和不连续性。该项目将根据来源中的典故和常见材料确定其方向，以确定ActPhil的作者是如何工作的，将地狱之旅纳入他更大的作品中，形成一个合理的整体。一个比较将绘制两个著名的手稿，一个包含旅游和其他没有，以及明确的redundancy活动，带来了两个明显不同的，但合理的读数。在《腓利传》的编辑活动中，很明显阅读群体（主流教会）的态度如何帮助塑造了关于受人尊敬的使徒腓利传教活动的最后文本，并带有强烈的道德主义色彩。今天，我们也发现社区的期望塑造了宗教话语，尽管可能比古代更加复杂。具有讽刺意味的是，ActPhil的作者将他的作品锚定在拒绝他的宗教和文学传统中。
