So there's a fair case to be made that this text is the first written gospel and all other gospels derive from this one, and if there was historic Jesus this is basically the closet impression we get from his original doctrine.

it's interesting because there is no narrative it's basically the raw sayings of Jesus and so we get a sense of the rich metaphors that he used, I did not copy and paste the more famous of his sayings, most of these I think are omitted from mark and later, gospels, you can also see why this text was considered apocrypha, because a lot of these quotes are out or give hints at culty behavior, like lots of references to nudity and drinking
