Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

Ehrman's racy style is gripping ... and he offers a vivid picture of what different groups believed and why. (The Church of England Newspaper)

The strengths of this book are multiple. It brings together discussion about a range of significant texts; it builds a wider historical frame in which to understand such writings; it is appreciative of the diversity of Christianity and seeks to hear those voices that have hitherto been too often marginalized; and, it is extremely readable while remaining a significant work. This book should be read by all those who are keen to appreciate more fully the multifaceted nature of Christianity prior to the fourth century. (The Expository Times)

Reseña del editor:

Lost Christianities describes how most forms of early Christianity, and the sacred writings they adhered to, came to be suppressed, proscribed, destroyed - in one way or another lost. And it also tells the story of how the canon of the New Testament became the official, orthodox and sacred text for Christianity.
