Author Description

The "Gospel" presented in this book claims to be the oldest published account of the life of Jesus Christ, potentially predating the canonical Gospels of the New Testament. It is part of a collection that includes ten letters attributed to the Apostle Paul. The book's origins remain shrouded in mystery, lacking an attributed author and leaving scholars with an incomplete understanding of its relationship to the New Testament. Scholars often refer to it as the "Marcionite Gospel" due to its association with the Marcionite Christian community. Matthias Klinghardt meticulously reconstructs the Greek text and provides an exacting English translation. This edition is designed for scholars, offering a valuable resource for research and scholarly inquiry.
