Big News!

A new gnostic gospel has finally been made public--the manuscript was discovered in Egypt in the 70's--and verified as being authentically from the 300's. This is pretty big news. The gospel is known as "the Gospel of Judas" and was probably written by early gnostic Christians, i.e. Christians who saw the path to salvation as based on having secret knowledge.
