So what does it say? Is it historical narrative? Didactic? Apocalyptic? Occasional Epistle?
It will be great fun to analyze its contents once available. If its historical narrative, the gold standard are the 4 gospel documents + Acts, that were accepted by the early Church as canon, because among other reasons they self-attest with all the customary evidence of the authors being intimately familiar with the nuances of the regions and time period of which they wrote and described. The gnostic gospels by contrast, completely lack these features (all they seem to know about were generalized landmarks like Jerusalem and Galilee, which anyone in the broader region would have known about from a distance and later time).
