...lost Christian gospels ....

A myth. There aren't any "lost Christian gospels."

God moved Christ's apostles and their attendants to record and to finish His word (John 16:12-13; 1 Corinthians 13:8-10; Hebrews 1:1-2; 2:1-4). The church received and acknowledged that Word.

If the apostles didn't author or sponsor it, and the church didn't acknowledge it, at best it may be a peripheral and helpful writing (like Augustine's Confessions, or Calvin's Institutes), but it isn't a "Christian gospel" -- as if it's fundamentally going to change the image of Jesus we have from the existing, abundantly-attested records.

NG (the publication of choice for Chinese fossil hoaxmeisters) must have been a little short on material so they threw in this article as filler. If this were Comp 101, the paper might get a C on style and a D- on content.
