This is a very thorough and interesting review of ancient Christian writings that didn't make it into the today's Bible for various reasons. The author is a former fundamentalist Christian and does interject disillusionment with his former beliefs. If you can tolerate that bias its pretty good reading.

Uh Oh. You mean there are books that the first century believers called "scripture," but did not make it into the final anthology? Ruh ro!

A fascinating and explanatory book at why certain gospels were left out, omitted altogether, or suppressed completely. While it doesn't answer every question, it uses facts and historical basis to try to explain the final accounts of the New Testament, and Yeshua's divinity.

Kinda heady. I'd rather have had a book with the translations of the actual collection of the Gnostic Texts.
