The gospel according to Mark is independent of the gospel according to Thomas. The Gospel according to Mark is the second of the four found in the New Testament. This gospel relates the story and experiences in the life of Jesus Christ. The Gospel according to Thomas is described by many scholars as being a tribute to oral tradition. Instead of containing information about the actual life of Jesus Christ, it is said to be an actual account of Jesusâ??s own words and teachings.

Where can the lost gospels be read?

A:The 'lost gospels' are those non-canonical gospels such as the Gospel According to the Hebrews, the Gospel of Peter, the Gospel of Philip, Gospel of Thomas, Infancy Gospel of Thomas and many others. It should be born in mind that these attributions are no more reliable than are the attributions of the canonical gospels to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. For scholars, the most important of the non-canonical gospels are the Gospel of Thomas and the Gospel of Peter. A search of the internet will access English translation of some of these texts, and the are also available (with difficulty) in printed form.

Is there any proof outside the Bible for the historicity of Mark?

There is no extra-biblical proof of the historicity of the disciple. Moreover, the Gospel known to us as the Gospel According to St Mark or St Mark's Gospel does not identify its author, and it was not until the second century that it was finally attributed by the Church Fathers to the Apostle Mark, thus giving this previously anonymous Gospel the name "Gospel According to St Mark". However, there is no real evidence to support that opinion, and considerable evidence to the contrary. The decision of the Church Fathers to attribute the Gospel to the apostle Mark was an admirable, but not necessarily correct one.
