Q What are the Gnostic Gospels?

A The Gnostic Gospels are a collection of early texts concerning the life and teachings of Jesus that were explicitly excluded from the canonical New Testament Bible. Unlike the traditional books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, these texts focus on secret dialogues and deep esoteric wisdom. The most famous examples include:

* The Gospel of Thomas: A collection of 114 sayings attributed to Jesus, completely lacking a narrative or crucifixion story.

* The Gospel of Mary: Highlights Mary Magdalene as a premier disciple who received secret revelations directly from Jesus.

* The Gospel of Judas: Radically reframes Judas Iscariot not as a traitor, but as Jesus's closest friend acting under divine orders.
