Is there any images of these books?

Oh, Jimmy found them.

Yeah.

So there's the 13 bound texts.

So among these were things like the Gospel of Thomas, which is considered the second most heretical book.

In the Nag Hammadi Library, there's the Gospel of John, also called the Secret Book of John, also called the Apocryphon of John, which is considered the first most heretical book.

There are books from Gnostic women, Thunder Perfect Mind.

is a book by a Gnostic woman that's in there.

The Gospel of James is in there.

So these, and I'll be very clear, if you had Wes Huff here, I know you've had before, and I think he's a brilliant scholar, he would say that these are not accepted because they're not accepted by the church because of dating and because of, you know, there's a lot of reasons, but there's a lot of new research showing that

that these are worthy of exploring with the same validity that we give to the other texts that we're seeing now.

What are they dated to?

They're dated to the late 1st, early 2nd century, somewhere right around there, some of them later.

The Book of John, the Secret Book of John, what makes it so...

exceptional, is that he believes, he said that it was dictated to him by Jesus of Nazareth after his crucifixion.

So it wasn't before, it came after.

But the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Thomas is one of the probably the most controversial.

It's 114 sayings about

that were recorded by Thomas.

And the book says Didymus Thomas was the name.
