There are scriptures that were not included in the 'Bible'. You can find books in your library or book store which cover some of them. For example, the "Discovery of the Nag Hammandi Texts", by Jean Doresse, is one. It is about a prodigious collection of sacred gnostic texts, discovered in the late 1940s in Chenoboskion, a remote hamlet in upper Egypt. It includes the Gospel according to Thomas, which some scholars say surpasses the Dead Sea Scrolls in importance.
