Why did the Church reject some accounts of the life of Christ?
Surprisingly, there were many strands to Christianity in the early years of Christianity, each with very different beliefs about Jesus and what he taught. One of these strands, represented by the four New Testament gospels we have today, appears to have become dominant in the second century and was the forerunner of the the Catholic and Orthodox Churches and the denominations that splintered off in later times. Other early strands of Christian thought are now grouped together as Gnostic Christianity, although their adherents would never have used this term in their own time.The Gnostic Christians wrote several gospels about Jesus, but these were rejected as false by the centrist church, because their theology was too different from that adopted by the church. The one possible exception is the Gospel of John, believed to have been written in a mildly Gnostic Christian community and subsequently redacted to minimise the Gnostic content. Nevertheless, some Gnostic influence can still be discerned in John.
