matt p: What is the best book that includes most of the lost books of the bible?
I want to read some of the so called “lost books of the bible,” the Gnostic Gospels, Dead Sea Scrolls, etc. Are there any good books or collections of these texts available? Is there a version of the bible out there with these texts included?

Lost Christianities by Bart Ehrman, The Dead Sea Scrolls translated by Abegg, Wise and Cook, The Discovery of the Nag Hammadi Texts by Doresse, The Dead Sea Scrolls and the First Christians by Robert Eisenman, to name a few…Answer by Jill E
You can read all these books online at the NagHammadi Library.
The Nag Hammadi Library, a collection of thirteen ancient codices containing over fifty texts, was discovered in upper Egypt in 1945. This immensely important discovery includes a large number of primary Gnostic scriptures — texts once thought to have been entirely destroyed during the early Christian struggle to define “orthodoxy” — scriptures such as the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Philip, and the Gospel of Truth.

Some of the Books you can read there are.
The Gospel of Thomas
The Gospel of Judas
The Apocalypse of Peter
The Acts of Peter and The Twelve Apostles
The Apocalypse of Paul
The Apocalypse of James
The Letter of Peter to Philip
The Gospel of Truth
The Gospel of Mary Magdalen
They were all written around the same time as the Gospels in the bible but were thought lost until 1945 when they were discovered. (Dead Sea Scolls).

Though translations of documents found among the Dead Sea Scrolls are still probably copyrighted and available only for purchase. Mudcat provided some good titles.
