The Problem with the Gospels
#16
RE: The Problem with the Gospels
I did not know about Marcion until recently, too. It's so sad how important details like these are not taught as part of basic Christian education, given how critical he was to the process by which certain Gospels were determined to be canon. Dodgy But then again, it's not surprising, given the tendency of Christians to ignore historical facts that cause trouble for their religion.
