What Is The Best Book That Includes Most Of The Lost Books Of The Bible?

Posted on | November 6, 2009 |

I want to read some of the so called “lost books of the bible,” the Gnostic Gospels, Dead Sea Scrolls, etc. Are there any good books or collections of these texts available? Is there a version of the bible out there with these texts included?

    Most of what you seek can be found herehttp://www.pseudepigrapha.com/
    Though translations of documents found among the Dead Sea Scrolls are still probably copyrighted and available only for purchase. Mudcat provided some good titles.

    You can read all these books online at the NagHammadi Library.
    The Nag Hammadi Library, a collection of thirteen ancient codices containing over fifty texts, was discovered in upper Egypt in 1945. This immensely important discovery includes a large number of primary Gnostic scriptures — texts once thought to have been entirely destroyed during the early Christian struggle to define “orthodoxy” — scriptures such as the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Philip, and the Gospel of Truth.http://www.gnosis.org/naghamm/nhl.html
    Some of the Books you can read there are.
    The Gospel of Thomas
    The Gospel of Judas
    The Apocalypse of Peter
    The Acts of Peter and The Twelve Apostles
    The Apocalypse of Paul
    The Apocalypse of James
    The Letter of Peter to Philip
    The Gospel of Truth
    The Gospel of Mary Magdalen
    They were all written around the same time as the Gospels in the bible but were thought lost until 1945 when they were discovered. (Dead Sea Scolls).

    Lost Christianities by Bart Ehrman, The Dead Sea Scrolls translated by Abegg, Wise and Cook, The Discovery of the Nag Hammadi Texts by Doresse, The Dead Sea Scrolls and the First Christians by Robert Eisenman, to name a few…

    The Bible didn’t lose any books.
