Apocrypha 101: "The Lost Gospels"

"Written to be deliberately obscure..."


BBC2 Documentary "The Lost Gospels" deals with the excised Gospels and texts (Thomas, for example) from the early period of Christianity. To be considered for an "Apocrypha 101" study program, sampling.



"Anglican priest Peter Owen Jones explores the huge number of ancient Christian texts that didn't make it into the New Testament. Shocking and challenging, these were works in which Jesus didn't die, took revenge on his enemies and kissed Mary Magdalene on the mouth. Pete travels through Egypt and the former Roman Empire looking at the evidence of a Christian world very different to the one we know, and finds over seventy gospels, acts, letters and apocalypses all circulating in the early Church."

And he said, "Whoever discovers the interpretation of these sayings will not taste death."
