Lost Gospels A category of noncanonical books, condemned in early Christian sources, of which no manuscript forms exist. These works were never widely authoritative in the early church period. Several of them are only known from a list found in the sixth-century Gelasian Decree, which cites them as “apocryphal,” by which term the Decree means “not accepted.” The “lost gospels,” as they are often referred to in modern scholarship, include:
• the Gospel of Andrew
• the Gospel of Apelles
• the Gospel of Bardesanes
• the Gospel of Bartholomew
• the Gospel of Basilides
• the Gospel of Cerinthus
• the Gospel of the Ebionites
• the Gospel of Eve
• the Gospel of the Four Heavenly Realms
• the Gospel of the Hebrews
• the Gospel of Mani
• the Gospel of Marcion
• the Gospel of Matthias
• the Gospel of the Nazarenes
• the Gospel of Perfection
• the Gospel of Scythianus
• the Gospel of the Seventy
• the Gospel of the Twelve Apostles
• the Memoria Apostolorum
