More Gnostic than Thou / Judas Gospel Codex Surfaces After 1,700 Years

The Gnostic Gospels (Vintage)
Elaine Pagels

One day we're gonna finish that bible book:
'Gospel of Judas' Surfaces After 1,700 Years - New York Times: Unlike the accounts in the New Testament Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, the anonymous author of the Gospel of Judas believed that Judas Iscariot alone among the 12 disciples understood the meaning of Jesus' teachings and acceded to his will. In the diversity of early Christian thought, a group known as Gnostics believed in a secret knowledge of how people could escape the prisons of their material bodies and return to the spiritual realm from which they came.
I wonder what else we will find buried in the desert. Keep digging. I'm listening to “Knows The Difference” by The Bad Plus from the album Suspicious Activity? on badgeitunes61x15lite.gif .
