\"\"\u00a0I can\u2019t believe I stumbled across a book called A New New Testament<\/a> edited by Hal Taussig and foreword by John Dominic Crossan. The publisher of the book includes this blurb:<\/span><\/p>\n

In February of 2012, a council of scholars and spiritual leaders,convened by religion scholar Hal Taussig, came together\u00a0to discuss,debate, and reconsider which books belong in the New\u00a0Testament. They talked about dozens of newly found texts, the lessons therein, and how\u00a0they inform the previously bound books. Reading the existing New\u00a0Testament alongside these new texts<\/span><\/em>\u2014The Gospel of Luke with The Gospel of Mary, Paul\u2019s letters with The Letter of Peter to Philip, The Revelation to John with The Secret Revelation to John\u2014offers the exciting possibility of understanding both, the new and the old, better<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n
