Heretical Christianities
Various Early Christian Sources
What if early Christian “heretics” preserved alternative visions of Jesus—Jewish, purely gracious, or prophetically inspired—before official orthodoxy took shape?
This anthology presents fragments of the Ebionites’ Jewish-Christian gospel, Marcion’s radical canon, and oracles from the Montanist “New Prophecy.” Updated for modern readers, these texts reveal communities that clashed with mainstream leaders yet influenced the theology, worship, and scriptural boundaries we take for granted today.
Included Texts:
Gospel of the Ebionites & Fragments of Jewish-Christian SectsMarcion’s Edited Luke & Pauline Summaries (Patristic Reconstructions)Montanist OraclesEpistle of the Apostles & Patristic ExcerptsWhat You’ll Discover Inside:
A More Jewish Jesus?Marcion’s God of Pure GraceProphetic Frenzy vs. Church OrderThe Formation of the CanonMeet the “heretics” who shaped orthodoxy by forcing early Christianity to define its boundaries. Consider their provocative ideas—and why they ultimately lost favor.
