Besides Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, numerous other Gospels appeared in the decades following Jesus’ death. These “other Gospels” offer insights into the diverse beliefs about Jesus and his mission held by early Christian communities. In this series we will focus on the Gospel of Peter, in which Jesus’ cross actually speaks; and the Infancy Gospel of Thomas, which depicts the boy Jesus as a “holy terror.”
