Tim Barnett and @WesHuff consider whether there are “lost gospels.” Wes explains how the early church recognized the authority of the New Testament books—not by suppressing rival gospels, but by identifying which writings came from the apostles or their close companions. These other texts, often written much later in the second century, were never considered authentic by the early church and were frequently condemned by church leaders. If you want to know the real Jesus, you need to go to the earliest, most reliable sources: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
