Scholars have translated 26 pages of a crumbling ancient text that purports to tell the story of Jesus’s last days from the perspective of Judas Iscariot, a man reviled for almost 2000 years. Sensationally, the manuscript portrays him not as a villain but as a hero and Christ’s favoured disciple.
Obviously, this is a load if baloney.
But I’m wondering, what if a new gospel were discovered, say a Gospel of St. Bartholomew, and it contained nothing contrary to the four we already have? Would it still have to be rejected because the canon is closed?
