A New Beginning

Welcome to gospels.net!

This website was initially established in 1996 to provide scholars, students and other interested parties with easy access to little-known early Christian gospels, such as the Gospel of Thomas.

I am proud to say that the original site served its purpose well, but much has occurred in the intervening years:

1. A substantial portion of the original website has been revised and published as a book (Other Early Christian Gospels).
2. An additional long-lost gospel (The Gospel of Judas) has been recovered and made available to the world.
3. There has been a dramatic increase in public interest in ancient gospels not included in the New Testament (remember The Da Vinci Code?).
4. The World Wide Web has undergone a staggering evolution (blogs, social networking sites, RSS/Atom feeds, wikis, etc.).

Unfortunately, the site that I originally created more than a decade ago by typing HTML code into a basic text editor simply wasn’t designed to be adapted or expanded easily. So, after much soul searching, I have come to the conclusion that the old site needs to be officially retired.

It is time to begin again.
