The short chapter on "New Testament Extracanonical Literature" (pp. 153-62), although commendable in intent, is almost too brief to be very useful. The focus in this chapter is, actually, primarily on the agrapha (sayings of Jesus not recorded in the canonical Gospels) and the issues of whether any of them might be authentic words of Jesus. This is a fascinating issue, but the focus and function of the data here is not sufficiently clear in terms of the structure of the chapter or the larger purposes) of the book.
In spite of criticisms that might be offered, Wegner's book remains a wonderful achievement. It is a delightful, genuinely helpful, and fascinating book, which deserves wide use.
