<Ul> <Li> </Li> <Li> </Li> <Li> </Li> </Ul> <P> The Infancy Gospel of Thomas is a biographical gospel about the childhood of Jesus, believed to date latest to the 2nd century or earlier . It does not form part of the biblical canon in any form of Christianity . </P> <P> The Infancy Gospel of Thomas is thought to be Gnostic in origin . The oldest known copy (discovered with the Nag Hammadi) was written in Coptic, not Greek as would have been expected of an authentic apocryphal text or "lost gospel". Later references (by Hippolytus of Rome and Origen of Alexandria) to a "Gospel of Thomas", are more likely to be referring to this Infancy Gospel, than to the wholly different Gospel of Thomas with which it is sometimes confused . </P> <P> Early Christians regarded the Infancy Gospel of Thomas as inauthentic and heretical . Hipploytus identified it as a fake and a heresy in his Refutation of All Heresies, and his contemporary Origen referred to it in a similar way in a homily written in the early 3rd century . Eusebius rejected it as a heretical "fiction" in the third book of his 4th - century Church History, and Pope Gelasius I included it in his list of heretical books in the 5th century . </P>
