	Gospel of Mary Magdalene - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Gospel of Mary Magdalene was found in the Akhmim Codex, a gnostic text of the New Testament apocrypha acquired by Dr Rheinhardt in Cairo in 1896.
		It has been suggested in popular literature that this is a Gospel of Mary Magdalene, and thus has become known by this name, although her last name is not mentioned in the text, and it could be any one of the other Marys from the New Testament, or even another Mary who is not mentioned.
		Part of this favouring of the one known female disciple may have been due to her ability as a female to represent the important figure of Sophia, the female syzygy of Christ, within gnostic theology.

		The undoubted early date of this gospel, the character of most of its not very numerous quotations, the respect with which it is uniformly mentioned by early writers, and the esteem in which it is at present held by scholars in general, entitle the Gospel according to the Hebrews to special notice.
		A Gospel of Barnabas and Gospel of Bartholomew are condemned in the decree of Pope Gelasius.
		In all of the gospels of this class it is noteworthy that considering the desire of the writers of non-canonical gospels to multiply miracles, no notice is taken of the period in the life of Christ that intervened between his twelfth year and his thirtieth.

		The Fourth Gospel suppresses Jesus' explicit baptism by John in mere water, demoting John to the Voice of one crying in the wilderness, whose only subsequent function is to witness to the descent of the Spirit upon Jesus.
		Indeed the first part of the Gospel of the Egyptians seems to be built almost entirely on these five doxologies or presentations of praise which enumerate the origins of the principal transcendent beings of this treatise.

		The Gospel of the Egyptians claims to be the holy book written by Seth and deposited on Mt. Charaxio[8] in order that it appear at the end of time and reveal the incorruptible holy race of Seth and its associates, as well as the supreme godhead of the Invisible Spirit, Barbelo and their only-begotten Son.
		The theme of the triple descent of Protennoia was derived from a source similar to or identical with the triple descent narrated in the self-predicatory aretalogy of Pronoia at a point prior to its inclusion in the longer ending of the Apocryphon of John.
		In contrast to the Apocryphon of John, the Trimorphic Protennoia stresses the innocence of Sophia, a theme that reappears in the Gospel of the Egyptians.

	The Development of the Canon of the New Testament - Gospel of Thomas
		It is doubtful whether this gospel was originally composed in Aramaic and then translated into Greek, although many of the sayings, like the oldest sayings of the canonical gospels, were certainly first circulated in Aramaic, the language of Jesus.
		Some are known to occur also in non-canonical gospels, especially the Gospel of the Hebrews and the Gospel of the Egyptians.

		In his essay "Analytical Psychology and Weltanschauung" Jung describes this condition: "Human beings have the feeling that they are haphazard creatures without meaning, and it is this feeling that prevents them from living their lives with the intensity it demands if it is to be enjoyed to the full.
		...the intent (of the two gospels) is the same: to remind humankind of its high and holy origins, as well as its present predicament of incomprehension, and to assure men and women of the availability of redemption and a return to consciousness, glory, and bliss.
		The "other gospels," long lost and now rediscovered appear to hold the potential of being of great assistance to those engaged in the task of melting down the rigid theologies and arid philosophies of this age and of pouring their essence into molds of the immediate and timeless Gnostic experience.

		Fragments of this gospel in the original Greek version are extant in the Oxyrhynchus Papyri 1, 654 and 655, which had been discovered and published at the beginning of this century, but were identified as parts of The Gospel of Thomas only after the discovery of the Coptic Nag Hammadi library.
		The authorship of this gospel is attributed to Didymos Judas Thomas, that is, Judas "the twin" (both the Aramaic thomas and the Greek didymos mean "twin").
		A large number of the sayings of The Gospel of Thomas have parallels in the gospels of the New Testament, in the Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke), as well as the Gospel of John (parallels with the latter are especially striking; cf., e.g., sayings 13, 19, 24, 38, 49, 92).

	The Conflict between Peter and Mary, and other Issues

		He refers to this exchange existent in The Gospel of Mary, The Gospel of Thomas, and the Pistis Sophia, but not The Gospel of the Egyptians.
		In Egyptians, he is the "incorruptible man." In the Pistis Sophia, he is "the great tyrant." This is mentioned as a way of connecting these documents by way of subject matter failing a link through Peter and Mary.

		Clement went on to say that this saying was to be found in the "Gospel according to the Egyptians", but it is not in Nag Hammadi's Gospel of the Egyptians.
		Clement nicknamed Thomas "the Gospel of the Egyptians" so as to deny that it had apostolic authority; he assumed any readers who were familiar enough with the text could draw their own conclusions.
		I also explained why I think the gospel "according to the Egyptians" which Clement "quotes" was probably (1) Clement's summary of (2) Cassianus's midrashic paraphrase of (3) an older form of Thomas.

		Certainly neither Philo, when he complains of the distress of the Jews under Caligula,[12] nor the Emperor Claudius, in the letter to the Egyptian prefect L.

		Other gospels are also discussed, with a long introductory article about the formation of the Christian canon.
		These contain the important Gnostic writings found at Nag Hammadi as well as many other important writings, including the Gospel of the Egyptians, the Gospel of the 12, the Gospel of Judas, several Jesus Gospels, several Thomas Gospels (including the infancy Gospel) and all the other important writings from both the 2nd and 3rd century.
		The Gospel of Thomas lays waste to the notion that Jesus was `the only begotten Son of God' and obviates the need for a formalized church when he says, `When your leaders tell you that God is in heaven, say rather, God is within you, and without you.' No wonder they suppressed this stuff!
