For centuries, we've been told the New Testament is the complete, divinely inspired word of God. But we’re about to reveal the books that were voted out, burned, and buried—and ask why. This is the story of the Lost Gospels. Join us as we investigate the explosive theory that the Council of Nicaea, under the command of Roman Emperor Constantine, deliberately suppressed gospels that threatened their power. We’ll uncover the secrets of the Gospel of Thomas, a book of Jesus's sayings so radical it was condemned as heresy. Did it portray a version of Jesus the early Church needed to erase? We'll dive into the world of spiritual outlaws like Marcion of Sinope and the Gnostics, who challenged the official narrative and forced the Church to define the Biblical Canon in a desperate bid to control the story. From the earliest known list of New Testament books—the Muratorian Fragment—to the forgotten texts discovered in the Egyptian desert, we’ll explore the ultimate Bible conspiracy. Was the formation of the Bible a divine process, or the result of a bitter political power struggle for the soul of Christianity? The answers will challenge everything you thought you knew about your faith, your history, and the figure of Jesus himself.
