Acts of Andrew
Some scholars speculate that the Acts of Andrew draws on the Acts of Peter and the Acts of John, which would place the composition of this work subsequent to them; albeit, this work is still regarded as quite early, probably in the mid- to late-2nd century. It is the product of the Encratites, who forbade marriage, a heresy expressly rebuked by Paul (1 Tm. 4:1–4). Some scholars also see gnostic thought in the Acts of Andrew, but this is disputed.
