Where does the needle have to register on the fantastic-o-meter and the gnostic-o-meter to throw a book out of the canon? Cuz that needle has to be high for canonical books too.
And maybe the actual answer as to why we don't hear from the 12 is because they were illiterate.
The gospel we call John has Jesus saying "
By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another."
Maybe that was their contribution.
