Not whole his gospel is called that name. The first chapters held this name because as the only one of four gospels that are in Bible tells anything about annuciation (of both St John the Bapist and Jesus), birth, epiphany, escape to Egypt and presentation in the Temple. It also mentions about Jesus aged 12 discussed with Jewish wisemen in the Temple. The next chapters tells same story as 3 other gospels, but not exactly the same - in other words, with another details and so on, but meaning is the same.

The Gospel of Luke is sometimes referred to as the gospel of infancy because it includes detailed accounts of the birth and childhood of Jesus, including events such as the Annunciation, the Nativity, and Jesus' presentation at the temple as a baby. These stories focus on Jesus' early years and his significance from the very beginning of his life.

Why was the Infancy Gospel of Thomas not put into the New Testament?

The Infancy Gospel of Thomas is one of several surviving Infancy Gospels that give an idea of the miracle literature that was created to satisfy the desire of early Christians for more detail about the early life of Jesus. It contains the story about Jesus in the Temple at the age of 12, evidence that it was written later than the Gospel of Luke; and it was mentioned by Irenaeus around 185 CE. So, it can be assumed to date from the fisrt half of the second century CE. The Infancy Gospel of Thomas depicts a number of cruel and malicious deeds performed by the child Jesus. While these no doubt inspired awe and proved the miraculous powers of Jesus, the Gospel was at odds with the image of Jesus that the Church Fathers wanted to teach. No doubt this was an important reason for its exclusion.

Is it true that the infancy narratives are the gospels in miniature?

A:There are two infancy narratives in the New Testament, in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. They differ so much from each other that it would be difficult to say that they both represent or symbolise anything in common. However, we could look at whether the infancy narrative in Matthew is that gospel in miniature and, similarly, whether the infancy narrative in Luke is that gospel in miniature. Matthew's infancy narrative draws a close parallel between Moses and Jesus, drawing extensively from the Old Testament. There are many parallels with the Old Testament, which was undoubtedly the inspiration and major source for Matthew's infancy narrative. Matthew's Gospel also, more than any other gospel, draws on the Old Testament to prefigure the life and mission of Jesus. In this way, the infancy narrative is indeed a miniature of Matthew's Gospel.Luke's infancy narrative includes a detailed story of the birth of John the Baptist, drawing on the Old Testament for this and the Magnificat, sung later by Mary. Luke' infancy narrative refers to the census of Quirinius, which actually took place at least ten years too late for the story, leading Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) to say that Luke likes to set his Christian drama in the context of well-known events from antiquity, but sometimes inaccurately. Rather than the wealthy magi, who brought expensive gifts for Jesus in Matthew's Gospel, Luke has poor shepherds come to worship Jesus. Luke's Gospel, more than any other gospel, appeals to the poor and talks about salvation for the poor. With its tale about John the Baptist, the inaccurate use of historical context, the poor shepherds and, again, its use of the Old Testament for source and inspiration, the infancy narrative is indeed a miniature of Luke's Gospel.
