A little later on that original group split into two groups, the Judeo-Christians, and the Pauline Christians, who believed the literal truth of the story of Jesus' life, death and resurrection. Eventually the Pauline Christians won out, having their four "divine" Gospels chosen to be the ONLY "true" version of Jesus' life (at the Council of Nicea in 325CE. After the four Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John were chosen, the hundreds of other texts about Jesus were all but destroyed. People caught reading any other gospels were persecuted or worse.
A few documents have survived from these early Judeo-Christians. The largest discovery to date is the Nag Hammadi Library, which was only translated a few years ago. The Apocrypha (or "stories of the life of Jesus not ordained by the Roman Catholic Church") contains some absolutely amazing texts about the life of Jesus and his philosophy. These include the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Judas, and the Gospel of Mary Magdalene. These were all texts written by Jewish followers about Jesus.
