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.
First tell me how anyone can "extant" anything.
Extant literature refers to written works that have survived from the past and are still available today. This can include books, manuscripts, and other forms of written material that have not been lost or destroyed over time.
No, extant means still existing.
Extant means: still in existence; not destroyed, lost, or extinct.
This would have to be classed as a monument on the remnants of a no-longer extant structure- a bridge that collapsed UNDER LOAD with serious loss of life. this was the first really major Bridge Accident of the nineteenth century. as the saying goes, accidents are bad for business and having something like this... One can see monuments in a cemetery- honoring the victims of the Bridge collapse- but within sight of the modern replacement structure. I never could quite see the (martyr Complex) about accidents and this appears to have been a design failure, not a freak operating accident. To the best of my knowledge there is no monument- at least public llike this in the United States of America- as the saying goes- Accidents are bad for Business! Amen.
Extant literature refers to texts that have survived from the past to the present time. Extant literature can be divided into extant originalmanuscripts, copies of original manuscripts, quotations and paraphrases of passages of non-extant texts contained in other works, translations of non-extant texts into other languages, or, more recently, photocopies or digital copies of texts.
Extant is an adjective with to refer to someone or something that is still in existence or surviving. I'm the only extant person on earth with my exact physical characteristics.

An extant script refers to a script that is still in existence and able to be studied or performed. It has not been lost or destroyed over time.
An extant theory is an idea that something is a specific way or is in existence. Extant theories are theories that have never been proven or found to be not true, so they are still viewed as a theory.
Extant.
