[quote=Anonymous]I've read many of the apocryphal gospels, including Thomas. Some bring new perspectives and others seem, honestly, a little silly. Besides Thomas, there are gospels of Judas, Mary, and other early narratives. One in particular gives the birth narrative in the details Christians are familiar with, but which don't appear in quite such detail in the canonical gospels. Yes, of course there have been longstanding debates, going back to the first days of Christianity, about the nature of Christ's divinity, the role of women like Mary Magdalene, and Jesus' vision of heaven. However, you can see these debates in the canonical gospels. There are some theologians (Crossan and Borg, among others) who do credible research on these gospels, and others (Bart Ehrman comes to mind) who are clearly out to make a buck. Yes, we're all "God's children." This is not news, it's always been a part of Christianity No, reading the apocryphal gospels has not shaken my faith. [/quote]
