The Gospel of Thomas dates back to the 4th Century. It was buried for safekeeping however the Orthodox Church outlawed its existence in A.D. 367. Many academics believe Thomas originated in the first half of the 2nd century though there are some who believe it predates the Gospel of Mark A.D.70. By the third and fourth centuries the orthodox movement was determining which books would constitute the New Testament and issued instructions to destroy any writings that did not conform to its view.
