According to this gospel, Lilith did not accept being submissive to man (Adam), and revolted, fleeing from Eden. In one of these gospels, the alleged first woman of Adam (who preceded Eve), named Lilith, who, like Adam, was made of dust is described. Several gospels that originally belonged to the Bible were then taken from it, such as the Gospels of Judas, Mary Magdalene, Thomas, Genesis II and Jesus Christ himself.

In The Da Vinci Code, the theory is put on the table that Jesus would have had a loving relationship with Mary Magdalene, and that this fact is definitely proven in one of the gospels that were left out of the Bible, a Gnostic (or apocryphal) gospel.
