The Gospel of Philip: The Lost Text That Put Mary Magdalene Closest to Jesus

This video follows that story from a sealed jar in the Egyptian desert through the scholarship that finally opened it, through the word that nobody can agree on, through the kiss that a damaged manuscript will not fully describe, through the image of a bridal chamber that changes everything you thought you understood about the text, and through the question that two thousand years of history has never quite been able to close. The Gospel of Philip was not stolen from the Bible. It stood outside the boundaries that later became canonical for reasons that are more human and more complicated than any conspiracy could explain. What it carried, though, was worth preserving. And the question it kept asking, about who gets to stand closest to wisdom and why, has never stopped being worth asking.
