The "Lost Gospels" refer to the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Nag
Hammadi Library, both discovered in the 1940s. The Nag Hammadi
Library consists of writings found by two peasants who unearthed
clay jars in 1945 in upper Egypt. These did not appear in English
for 32 years, because the right to publish was contended by
scholars, politicians, and antique dealers. The Dead Sea Scrolls,
discovered in clay jars in Palestine by a goatherder in 1947,
weathered similar storms. The first team of analysts were mostly
Christian clergy, who weren't anxious to share material that
frightened church leaders. As Dr. Hoeller shows, they rightly
feared the documents would reveal information that might detract
from unique claims of Christianity. Indeed, the Dead Sea Scrolls
and Nag Hammadi Library both contradict and complement accepted
tenets of the Old and New Testaments.
