The Gospels the Church Didn't Want You to Read

Imagine a Mary Magdalene who was Jesus's most beloved disciple, or a Judas who wasn't a traitor. For centuries, these alternative accounts of early Christianity were suppressed and condemned as heresy. In this documentary, we unpack the forbidden world of the Gnostic Gospels. We dive into the core beliefs of Gnosticism (Gnosis, the Demiurge, the divine spark), explore the monumental discovery of the Nag Hammadi Library in 1945, and reveal the radical messages of texts like the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Mary, and the Gospel of Philip. Why did the early Christian Church fight so hard to suppress these writings, and what do they tell us about the hidden, diverse origins of Christianity?
