another gospel?

Another Gospel has been found! Well, actually it was found several years ago, but conveniently now just before Easter this Gnostic "Gospel of Judas" has been revealed to the public in a National Geographic news conference yesterday.This will be a topic of conversation with folks around us, especially with the Da Vinci Code movie coming out soon. To put it simply, the early church rejected these gospels (gospel of Thomas, gospel of Judas, etc) not because they didn't like what they said, but because they weren't true.

Here are some great resources to learn about the gospel of Judas and how we as Orthodox Christians need to respond to those who ask us about the text.
