Anglican priest Pete Owen Jones sets out to explain why the New Testament contains four gospels rather than the dozens that once circulated among early Christians. He travels to Egypt and the sites connected to the Nag Hammadi discovery, where a cache of Gnostic texts buried in a jar survived for centuries before resurfacing in 1945. Scholars walk him through gospels attributed to Thomas, Mary Magdalene, and Judas, texts that present a Jesus far stranger and more mystical than the familiar Gospel accounts, teaching secret knowledge rather than delivering parables to crowds. Owen Jones traces how church councils and bishops like Irenaeus and Athanasius fought to fix a single canon, sidelining texts that clashed with an emerging orthodoxy. The film treats the exclusion of these gospels not as accident but as a deliberate act of institutional power, one that shaped what Christianity became. Interviews with theologians and historians ground the argument, while Owen Jones's own faith gives the investigation a personal stake rather than a purely academic one.
