Are the Gnostic Gospels ancient secrets the Church tried to hide? What do they really say about Jesus, salvation, and the early Christian movement? In this episode of The Spiritually Incorrect Podcast, host JD Lyonhart interviews world-renowned New Testament scholar Dr. Craig A. Evans to explore the truth behind the Gospel of Thomas, Gospel of Mary, Gospel of Judas, and other so-called Gnostic texts. Are they reliable? Were they suppressed? Do they offer alternative views of Jesus — or modern myths in ancient clothes?

🔍 Topics covered:
What are the Gnostic Gospels?
Why weren’t they included in the New Testament canon?
Do they tell us anything true about the historical Jesus?
Are they dangerous distortions — or spiritual insights?
How should Christians engage with these texts today?
