Think of the Book of Enoch, quoted by Jude and referenced by Peter. Or the Assumption of Moses, referenced by Jude. These documents were part of the shared understanding of the times.

And the 52 books found in 1945 near Nag Hammadi, known as the Gnostic gospels.

Turns out the 1st c. and early 2nd c. Gnostics had a great impact on early Christian development.

That's why I would add to our reading list, Dr. Elaine Pagels, and her The Gnostic Gospels.
