Bear in mind a few things about this gospel. It's considered Gnostic texts. To a modern reader it seems like a missing text that was excluded because of hidden truths. A real truth is that Gnostic texts came several decades to centuries after the death of Christ. In selecting the books of the Bible, they went with texts that could be proven to be from either the era of Christ (Mark and Matthew between 20-30 years after Christ, Luke few after that, and John being last), or letters from people in direct correlation to Him. Gnostic texts, by modern equivalent, would be like adding the book of Mormon into the canon and considering it to be real words of Christ.
Take from that what you will.
That answered a question I didn't know needed answered. Cool.
