Whether the Gospel of Thomas was written around the middle of the first century, or later in the second century is a matter still being debated. If the Gospel of Thomas is from the first century, then it is probably the earliest extant Christian writing outside the New Testament.
The Shepherd of Hermas and the Didache are other contenders to be the oldest non-canonical Christian book.

What language is the holy book of Christians?
English It depends on the translation used. The original editions of the books in the Christian Bibles are in Hebrew (most of the Old Testament and some Deuterocanon), Aramaic (some of the Old Testament and Deuterocanon), Koine Greek (some of the Deuterocanon and New Testament), and English (Book of Mormon) - for those who believe. The Christians, unlike Jews and Muslims, did not have an issue with translating the Holy Bible and as a result it is published in nearly every extant written language.
When was Jesus recorded first?
The Epistles of Paul are generally regarded as the earliest books of the Bible, and therefore the oldest references to Jesus that we have. These are generally regarded as having been written in the 50s of the first century CE. The Epistle to the Hebrews is probably similarly ancient, so it is possible for Hebrews to be the oldest extant reference to Jesus. Mark's Gospel is regarded by scholars as the first of the gospels. They believe that this Gospel was written in the 70s, some time after Paul's epistles and after Hebrews. We have no extant early record of Jesus from any source outside the New Testament.
