The Gospel of Thomas. The Gospel of Philip. The Secret Book of John. Buried in Egypt for sixteen centuries. You've heard the names. Read the writings.
What do the Gnostic gospels actually say? Why were these books hidden in a jar in the desert? And what did early Christians argue about before the canon was settled?
