Nonfiction Downloadable Audiobook Rater: VSI The Apocryphal Gospels by Paul Foster 5/10


The Apocryphal Gospels
Nothing too gripping here, feel free to move along. Basically the author says that all the non-canonicals  have at best two quotes that the big four don't and the only thing the former are good for is relating that second and third century Christians weren't as much on the same page as maybe the "winners" would have you believe. I went after this because it was short, in audio form, and I didn't want to be completely in the dark on the subject. Well mission accomplished, but it wasn't much fun. I confirmed that The Gospel of Thomas is the first loser, and now I can start straining to work "well it's not like you found the Nag Hammadi codices" into conversation.
