Reviews
"The author of more than ten books on New Testament history and earlyChristian writings, Ehrman has established himself as an expert on earlyChristianity. These two works should soundly solidify his stature, as theyilluminate the flavor and varieties of early Christian belief."--Library Journal(on Lost Christianities and Lost Scriptures), "Highly readable and based on up-to-date scholarship, Ehrman's bookprovides an excellent introduction to early Christianity's diversity and themeans by which early orthodoxy, and the New Testament canon, developed from it.This lively study will prove eye-opening to a wide variety ofreaders."--Elizabeth A. Clark, John Carlisle Kilgo Professor, DukeUniversity, "A fascinating look at how Christianity was molded."--Dallas Morning News "Ehrman's style is marked by the narrative thrust of a good story or even a sermon."--Christian Science Monitor "A charting of the full theological kaleidoscope would take volumes, but it is possible, using Ehrman's book as a jumping-off point, to examine some of the more striking and widespread of the Christian roads not taken."--Time Magazine "Ehrman displays expert knowledge of the texts and the best modern scholarship.... His balanced exposition of the Gospel of Thomas, with its careful delineation of the different materials in it, is outstanding."--America, "Ehrman's style is marked by the narrative thrust of a good story or evena sermon."--Christian Science Monitor, "A well-crafted, scholarly tale of forgeries, burned books, doctrinal feuds, and other episodes in the making of the New Testament and the early Church. Or better, Churches."--Kirkus Reviews, "Ehrman eloquently characterizes some of the movements and Scriptures that were lost, such as the Ebionites and the Secret Gospel of Mark, as he outlines the many strands of Christianity that competed for attention in the second and third centuries. He issues an important reminder that therewas no such thing as a monolithic Christian orthodoxy before the fourth century."--Publishers Weekly, "A charting of the full theological kaleidoscope would take volumes, but it is possible, using Ehrman's book as a jumping-off point, to examine some of the more striking and widespread of the Christian roads not taken."--Time Magazine, "This book offers a fascinating introduction to an astonishing range of'lost Christianities' that flourished at the time when the Christian movementbegan. Bart Ehrman has the rare gift of communicating scholarship in writingthat is lively, enjoyable, and accessible."--Elaine Pagels, PrincetonUniversity, "A well-crafted, scholarly tale of forgeries, burned books, doctrinalfeuds, and other episodes in the making of the New Testament and the earlyChurch.

Bart Ehrman argues in a pair of intriguing new books that the same could be said of the Bible's New Testament. That Ehrman makes his case without pushing into territory considered heretical by many mainstream Christians shows a deft touchwith the most volatile of subjects.... Will shock more than a few lay readers. The 27 New Testament gospels, epistles, acts, and revelations, it turns out, were only a handful of the letters, arguments, visions, and accounts of Christ's life in wide circulation in the early centuries of thereligion. And they were hardly the only ones to claim direct ties to the Apostles.... Presents the major strains of early Christianity and explains how each feuded bitterly with the others. He also discusses how and why the group representing the closest thing to modern-day Christianity ultimatelywon out."--Scott Bernard Nelson, The Boston Globe, "History, it's often said, is written by the victors.

His balanced exposition of the Gospel of Thomas, with its careful delineation of the different materials in it, is outstanding. His essay on the Secret Gospelof Mark, with its suggestion that the text may be a modern forgery (perhaps even by its learned editor, Morton Smith), reads like a detective story.

Synopsis
The early Christian Church was a chaos of contending beliefs. Some groups of Christians claimed that there was not one God but two or twelve or thirty. Some believed that the world had not been created by God but by a lesser, ignorant deity. Certain sects maintained that Jesus was human but not divine, while others said he was divine but not human. In Lost Christianities, Bart D. Ehrman offers a fascinating look at these early forms of Christianity and shows how they came to be suppressed, reformed, or forgotten. All of these groups insisted that they upheld the teachings of Jesus and his apostles, and they all possessed writings that bore out their claims, books reputedly produced by Jesus's own followers. Modern archaeological work has recovered a number of key texts, and as Ehrman shows, these spectacular discoveries reveal religious diversity that says much about the ways in which history gets written by the winners. Ehrman's discussion ranges from considerations of various "lost scriptures"--including forged gospels supposedly written by Simon Peter, Jesus's closest disciple, and Judas Thomas, Jesus's alleged twin brother--to the disparate beliefs of such groups as the Jewish-Christian Ebionites, the anti-Jewish Marcionites, and various "Gnostic" sects. Ehrman examines in depth the battles that raged between "proto-orthodox Christians"-- those who eventually compiled the canonical books of the New Testament and standardized Christian belief--and the groups they denounced as heretics and ultimately overcame. Scrupulously researched and lucidly written, Lost Christianities is an eye-opening account of politics, power, and the clash of ideas among Christians in the decades before one group came to see its views prevail., The early Christian Church was a chaos of contending beliefs.

  • Interesting book, though a little heavy reading.

    Its interesting to learn of this author's ideas/slants, whether you agree with them or not. Learning about lost manuscripts that put a different view on some of the ideas we've had through the years is always exciting. It makes one do some deep thinking, though we'll never know all of the answers to the questions that it raises. I like the book in that I'm learning from it, but I have found the actual reading of it to sometimes be a bit tedious.
