In the year 2007 an astonishing discovery was made. A Lost Gospel of a legendary disciple named Thorntonius found its way into the possession of artist/ theologian John R. Thornton.

Hi there, I am John R. Thornton and I am extraordinarily excited to be able to bring to you these ancient manuscripts.

Along with the Scriptural texts, which I have carefully translated into English, there were a series of ancient illuminations or illustrations. These I have enhanced with a bit of computer wizardry to bring back the original clarity and brilliant color.

So please feel free to browse through these pages. I wish you the most enjoyable of spriritual journeys! I also have included a video of an actual Thorntonian service. The congregation is from a wealthy town in the Northeast section of America.
