The Lost Gospels
Aired: March 15, 2008 on BBC 2
Anglican
priest Peter Owen Jones explores the huge number of ancient Christian
texts that didn't make it into the New Testament. Shocking and
challenging, these were works in which Jesus didn't die, took revenge
on his enemies and kissed Mary Magdalene on the mouth. Pete travels
through Egypt and the former Roman Empire looking at the evidence of a
Christian world very different to the one we know, and finds over
seventy gospels, acts, letters and apocalypses all circulating in the
early Church.
