Assuming that early Christianity was a complex place that housed ideological class struggle, look into evidence to prove these differences by studying the apocryphal text known as the Protevangelium of James, coming from the second century of our era. Attempts to demonstrate that the beliefs in this apocryphal text are not product of the imagination of its author, but are common elements to the Christian communities before orthodoxy. In early Christianity, there were several classes that had ideological divergent beliefs. With the passing centuries, emerging classes, the block termed proto-orthodox, by forces policies, prevailed over the remaining. This block then steadied itself then as the only truth, taking on the true apostolic succession and the true teaching of Jesus, was also enacted as the first church which all heresy arose in relation to their beliefs. The speech that block disregards the whole dialectical process that gave his statement. As the Protevangelium of James is a based text in the proto-orthodox, that is, part of its content is similar to what will become the orthodoxy, but also carries an offensive content to this, it is appropriate to question such speech. In the process of quest the aim of research, resorting on studies of Foucault, Bakhtin and Berger, it was necessary to understand the importance of speech for formation of the classes ideologically constituted, the process of legitimation of the discourse and the construction of truths. It is important to consider how to handsel the orthodoxies and heresies, the canonical and apocryphal in the religious systems and understand ,panoramically, how was the construction of the canon of Christian scriptures. The Protevangelium will be still compared with other Christian literature, such as the canonical Matthew and Luke's gospels and other apocryphal narratives, as well as works of early Christian writers to examine their scope and relevance. It is concluded that the Protevangelium of James initially served as raw material for orthodoxy, but with the development of this, it was deemed unacceptable.
