Publisher Synopsis

Bart Ehrman argues in a pair of intriguing new books that the same could be said of the Bible's New Testament.... Will shock more than a few lay readers."--The Boston Globe<p><br>"Lost Scriptures provides a good sample of the literature and illustrates nicely the complex and often exotic world of second- and third-century Christianity."--America<p><br>"Fresh authoritative translations of the texts that fell outside in the canon."--Christian Science Monitor<p><br> Read more...
