In this. the first episode of season 2 of "They Didn't Teach That at School," podcast author and presenter Mark Kerrigan B.Ed, M.TheolSt delves into the discovery and significance of the Gospel of Thomas, an apocryphal text comprising 114 sayings of Jesus, found in Nag Hammadi, Egypt, in 1945. Unlike the narrative-driven canonical gospels, the Gospel of Thomas emphasizes mystical and Gnostic themes, promoting self-knowledge and personal enlightenment. The episode explores the historical context of early Christianity, highlighting the differing visions of key figures like James, Peter, and Paul, and the rise of the orthodox church, which established a unified set of beliefs through councils and canonical criteria, ultimately shaping the dominant form of Christianity.
