Many of the most prominent soul artists, such as Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye, Wilson Pickett and Al Green, had roots in the church and gospel music and brought with them much of the vocal styles of artists such as Clara Ward and Julius Cheeks.
Southern gospel also drew much of its creative energy from the Holiness churches that arose throughout the south in the first decades of the twentieth century and that created new music, in addition to the traditional hymns of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, to accompany their new forms of worship.

 The Lost Sayings Gospel Q
Some scholars have observed that the Gospel of Thomas and the Q material, as contrasted with the four canonical gospels, are similar in their emphasis on the sayings of Jesus instead of the passion of Jesus.
The close relationships of the Gospel of Thomas to Q cannot be accidental.
The Gospel of Thomas is either dependent upon Q's earlier version or upon clusters of sayings employed in its composition.

In 1792, Thomas Astle, Keeper of Records at the Tower of London, urged the Trustees to authorize the compilation of a new catalogue of the Cotton library.
In 1777 Samuel Hooper had produced a subject catalogue of the Cotton collection, (75) but, although he published the corrections of Maty and Rimius to Casley's schedule of damaged manuscripts, (76) his work was of limited assistance to readers grappling with Smith and Casley.
It is a measure of the richness of Cotton's library that, despite such losses, it still remains an incomparable source for the history, literature and art of medieval and Tudor England.

 The Case Against 'The Case For Christ'
Eliane Pagels, in her commentary on the Gnostic Gospels from the Nag Hammadi library, said it best: "History is written by the victors - their way!" Clearly she understood that the canonic gospels were selected with a doctrinal axe to grind, and the Gospel of Thomas was written from a similarly biased perspective.
Where Boyd does score some valid points is in the critique of the "seven pillars." While some of the critique is valid, though, the critique is limited in fairness.
If the gospel writers were inaccurate in the history they wrote, or wrote with a deliberate bias, all the copies in the world aren't going to make up for those biases and inaccuracies.

 The Gospel According to St. Matthew (1964)
A Man For All Seasons, the great drama of the life and martyrdom of St. Thomas More, was written for the stage and screen by the non-Christian Robert Bolt.
The Gospel According to Matthew is one of the few Jesus films in which Jesus is at once authoritative and forceful, and also unaffected and, for lack of a better term, persuasively human.
In fact, the single least persuasive image in all of The Gospel According to Matthew may be the sight of Irazoqui’s hair glossy and unmussed in the center of the crown of thorns.

 gospel music - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about gospel music
The founder of gospel music is Thomas A Dorsey (1899–1993) from Georgia, who from 1932 wrote hundreds of gospel compositions, including ‘Peace in the Valley’ (1937) and ‘Take My Hand, Precious Lord’ (1932).
Outstanding among the early gospel singers was Mahalia Jackson, but from the 1930s to the mid-1950s male harmony groups took the lead, among them the Dixie Hummingbirds, the Swan Silvertones, and the Five Blind Boys of Mississippi.
Vocal music developed in the 1920s in the African-American Baptist churches of the US South from spirituals.

 THE GOSPEL OF Q
Rather, it is largely a collection of sayings -- similar to the Gospel of Thomas.
It may have been the first of the 40 or so Gospels that were written and used by the early Christian movements.
The Gospel of Q is different from the canonical gospels in that it does not extensively describe events in the life of Jesus.

In these adventuresome tales, Thomas preaches the values of asceticism and gnosis as the path to salvation.
Its "heretical" status seems to come mainly from the gnosticism it propounds; it's known to have been used by certain Manichean sects; [TEXT]
