In 1945, a group of farm hands digging for fertiliser in the Egyptian desert made a discovery that would dramatically change our understanding of the early church.
They had unearthed several early Christian texts including gospels of Thomas, Philip and Mary that had been buried away for around 1,600 years.
These gospels were some of the many alternative books about Jesus that weren't included in the Christian Bible. They had been side-lined by the early church as it worked out what became the official version of Christianity.
The Jesus in these texts was radically different from the one in the accepted gospels of the New Testament - Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Instead of the suffering, human, Son of God, they depicted a divine being whose mysterious sayings revealed the secrets to immortality.
No mass appeal
In comparison to what became mainstream Christianity, which was open to all who believed, the lost gospels were sometimes elitist. They spoke of the mysterious way to finding enlightenment through understanding the hidden meanings in Jesus’ words. One possible reason they were not included in the emerging New Testament is they were not meant to be part of a wider canon or to be read as scripture in church - instead each one was meant to be read by an elect few.
