Because the Gnostics were labeled as heretics, it became a crime to be in possession of any of their texts. Many of the Gnostic scriptures were burned. Thankfully, someone - perhaps a monk from the nearby monastery – placed the fifty two leather-bound codices in earthen-ware jars and buried these jars deep in the Egyptian sand. It is amazing that these texts were not found until present-day when the religious tolerance of today’s society would allow thorough examination, translation and publication of these seemingly “lost” Gnostic gospels. While the historical significance of these documents is nearly incomprehensible, it is important for today’s self-proclaimed Christians to examine their own individual thoughts and beliefs and whether Christianity is actually the religion that has been taught since the Gnostics were ostracized.
