Description
What if the dividing line in your Bible separating the Old and New Testament wasn't put there by God, but by a wealthy second-century heretic? Christopher Enoch explores the shocking historical truth about Marcion of Sinope, the man who invented the concept of a biblical canon and elevated the Epistles of Paul. Discover how the New Testament was actually formed and why early Church Fathers largely ignored Paul.
