A good place to start researching New Testament apocrypha on-line is:
<http://www.ntgateway.com/noncanon.htm>
The homepage for the Noncanonical site, listed first at the NT Gateway page
above, has a link to a page of links to Gospel texts, including three
versions of the Infancy Gospel of Thomas reprinted from James' collection.
Be warned that the hyperlink from the Noncanonical homepage to the gospels
page is broken, though; the URL in the code is incorrect and should read:
<http://wesley.nnu.edu/noncanon/gospels.htm>
All the internal links have "nnc.edu" instead of "nnu.edu", and pages of
interest can be reached by substituting the latter for the former in the
URL's your browser will report it was unable to load. I assume it's a
matter of screening out those who lack the gnosis of the truly enlightened.
