BASILIDES, GOSPEL OF

A lost Gospel attested by Origen (Hom. Luke 1.5.5-7) as composed by Basilides, a Christian poet-philosopher active in Alexandria ca. 132-135, whose movement continued there into the 4th century, and whose eclectic, wide-ranging writings, including some of the earliest commentaries on the NT, survive only in fragments.

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
