Why did the church accept some gospels rather than others? Was it earlier dating, what they discerned as authentic teaching, or the way each one's teaching affected the lives of those who followed it? In one volume, Comfort and Dreisbach discuss thirty-five various manuscripts that claim to describe the life of Jesus, pointing out their significance.

Philip W. Comfort, Ph.D., has studied English Literature, Greek, and New Testament at the Ohio State University and the University of South Africa. He has taught these classes at a number of colleges, including Wheaton College, Trinity Episcopal Seminary, Columbia International University, and Coastal Carolina University. He is currently senior editor of Bible reference at Tyndale and served as New Testament editor for the New Living Translation. He has contributed a number of books to the Tyndale collection, both as author and editor. Among these are The New Greek-English Interlinear New Testament, The Origin of the Bible, The Tyndale Bible Dictionary, Essential Guide to Bible Versions, The Text of the Earliest New Testament Greek Manuscripts (with D. Barrett), Who's Who in Christian History.

Jason Driesbach holds degrees from Cedarville University and Dallas Theological Seminary and is currently and independent editor and lifelong student of the ancient Near East with a special interest in Hebrew and Septuagint studies. He has taught in numerous local churches and is an editor for the Cornerstone Biblical Commentary series.

In the wake of The DaVinci Code book and movie and the recent discovery of The Gospel of Judas, there has been an increased interest in the ancient books written about Jesus in the third century A.D. that aren't part of the Bible's canon—commonly known as the Gnostic Gospels. Decide for yourself the truth behind all the “hidden gospels.” Compare what the Gnostic Gospels have to say with the four Gospels in the Bible. Discover the truth about Jesus for yourself.
