Russian term

Хождения апостолов

Russian to English Social Sciences Religion
This is a genre or series of writings during the early Christian period. I thought of using "Travels" or "Wanderings," but I'm wondering if there's an accepted scholarly term, similar to the use of "Vita" for Zhitie instead of simply "life."

Thanks in advance!

В апокрифических “Хождениях апостолов”, которые начали возникать во II-III вв., довольно много говорится о том, как ученики Христа жеребьевкой поделили между собой «весь мир» для будущей миссии.

Journeys Apocrifos of Apostles

Apocrifos-oculto-speculation-presupposition. "Presumed Journeys of Apostles". Because their Missionary Journeys finished with Revelation. Where they went after, by foot or they sailed- God knows.

Wanderings of the Apostles

Google "wanderings of the apostles"+baldwin - the first hit takes you to a book that talks about some apocrypha that was eventually given that title.

Travels and Teachings of the Apostles - apocryphal acts in general.

This belief was also held by the sect of the “Manichaeans” and others, and is found in certain apocryphal writings, such as the Travels of the Apostles.

Peer comment(s):

agree boostrer : yes, this is a general title; it may be called "acts, apocalypses and canons of apostles" or just christian apocrypha.

Acts or Journeys

If the series is a general description of the Apostles (i.e. not specifically their travels), then you might want to go with 'Acts' for recognition: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acts_of_the_Apostles

If it does focus on their travels, however, I'd suggest using 'Journeys,' as that's the term I remember encountering more so than others.
Peer comment(s):

agree Olga Arakelyan : journeys - the term is used in the Bible colleges studying the life of the Apostles, e.g. the 1st missionary journey of Apostle Paul etc.

Thank you, Olga.
neutral Alexander Ryshow : "The Acts of the Apostles" ("Деяния Апостолов") - входит в канон Библии и не является апокрифом

Never claimed it to be. I offered two options, depending on the asker's need.

I know it by: "The Epistle of Paul The Apostle to the Romans", voyage to Rome, then to Corinthians, Galatians,Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, Thessalonians, Timothy,Titus, Philemon, Hebrews. Then the Epistles were from James, then from Peter, then from John and Jude. Those wanderings with Epistles are called - "Missionary Journeys"

Walking

Неоднократно встречала слово "walking"=хождения в соответствующем контексте, как и слово "acts" применительно к деяниям Апостолов.
