Greek Gospel of the Egyptians was a Gnostic gospel from around the period of 120-150 A.D. that has only been mentioned three times as existing. With the eight lines that were written down by Clement of Alexandria, many theologians and historians draw similarities between the Greek Gospel of the Egyptians and the Gnostic Gospel of Thomas. Some common themes of the Gospel are the advocacy of sexual asceticism, the question of how long death shall last, and the overcoming of sinful differences between males and females. With the early church trying to stop heretical doctrine and teachings from spreading, all Gnostic gospels were deemed heretical and were ordered to be destroyed. Despite the discovery of the Nag Hammadi library in 1945, no manuscripts of the Greek Gospel of the Egyptians have been discovered.
