I AM NOT SAYING THAT ANY OF THESE ARE MORE OR LESS IMPORTANT THAN THE COMMON BIBLICAL CANON, WHAT I AM POINTING OUT IS THAT THERE ARE MANY, MANY ANCIENT TEXTS THAT DEAL WITH JESUS, GNOSIS, THE APOCALYPSE, ETC. AND WE ONLY HAVE A HANDFUL OF THEM IN OUR COMMON BIBLE.
AGAIN, I URGE PEOPLE TO READ "MISQUOTING JESUS" BY BART D. EHRMAN. THIS MAN IS A STUDENT OF TEXTURAL CRITICISM & EXPLAINS IN GREAT DETAIL (AND IN A WAY THAT THE AVERAGE PERSON ACTUALLY CAN UNDERSTAND) WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE FORMATION OF THE BIBLE.
