I think it's time we get Funky ; as in Robert Funk and The Five Gospels :
The Five Gospels: What Did Jesus Really Say? The Search for the Authentic Words of Jesus Paperback –
I think I've got two copies. I'll try to find 'em, and will send a copy to you. It's by the Jesus Seminar. They break the five gospels - the Gospel of Thomas - into four colors ; Black, Gray, Pink, and Red ; black means Jesus didn't say it, and Red that he did.
