If you're not reading the same bible as the first Christians in 144 A.D. you're reading just another book. The first Christian bible is not only the foundation of faith that virtually every denomination traces its canonical roots back to - it's also the only place you'll find the gospel preached by Paul the Apostle that he specifically references numerous times: "But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ." (Galatians 1:8-9) ***In addition to the Gospel of the Lord you'll also read in their original, unedited form Galatians, 1st and 2nd Corinthians, Romans, 1st and 2nd Thessalonians, Laodiceans, Colossians, Philemon and Philippians. That is the entirety of the first Christian bible as it was gathered and transcribed in 144 A.D. and as it is now. Numbered chapters and verses in standard bible format.***The Very First Bible also acts as a cryptographic key, allowing us to see which scriptures were edited and added as it ballooned from one gospel and eleven books into 73 books and four gospels over time. For the first time you will read the first Christian bible exactly as it was transcribed in 144 A.D. and one of the first things you'll notice is that it doesn't contain the Torah* (Old Testament). You will see the original Gospel of the Lord that was preached by the Apostle Paul and Scriptures reveal God through Jesus, as it happened. After 2,000-years of 'interpretive editing,' additions, deletions, theological focus groups and sloppy translations, the modern bible has more in common with modern art than it does with the very first Christian bible. ***This special first edition includes illustrations along with a Study and Reference Guide where you'll learn about the key people and events surrounding The Very First Bible and Marcion of Sinope, the man that religious scholars say is responsible for the format of the New Testament.*The apostles agreed to exclude the Torah (Old Testament) law from Christian canon at the Council of Jerusalem in 48 A.D. after determining it was antithetical to the gospel of Christ. It was later added to the first Christian bible in 325 A.D. by order of a pagan Roman emperor at the Council of Nicaea. This subject and others are covered more fully in the study guide included in the book. Review: Amazing! - I truly enjoyed reading this! I love that it is ancient and that what is found in this book is also found in the Bible. It is much shorter, yet still felt complete. Awesome read! Review: The book were very well informative - I like the book because it was very interesting and very informative, the structure of the book made it very easy to read and understand.

This is a great Bible
It's good to see what the first Christian Bible says. I recommend it to all Christians. It has one life of Jesus book, which makes it to here there are not 4 gospels yet in this Bible

The life and times that I didn't know about.
I bought this book to study ancient history in the times Christians had it so hard. I would recommend any student researching the times of the church during Christ to buy this book. Very interesting read.

From the Trash Heap it Came, & There Should Return
A book worthy of tossing in the fire as heretical. This is propaganda by the heretical Marcionite Church. Just look it up if you want to understand better the heresy or read the other one star reviews. If you are looking to confirm an unbiblical view of who Jesus Christ is, truly one with the Father, and Spirit, sadly, this book will help you continue to sit in damnable unbelief. Jesus Christ is Lord of all. Marcion was a heretic and the early apostles and teachers who maintained the truth of Christ and those first disciples who were taught by Him, fought against encroaching Gnosticism and marcionism which taught and still teaches Jesus Christ is not God come in the flesh to show us the Father and save those who put their hope and trust in His Only begotten Son, whoโs sacrifice alone is accepted as payment for the sin of mankind. They teach two different deities in old and new testament, inconsistent with each other, which is false teaching. You will do better reading the Geneva Bible in English, to have a closer look at the text in English, in which the chapters and verses are well formatted with book titles printed at the top of every page for easy reference. There is no information I could find about who translated this copy in my hand, alleged to be authentic to the first century. Well, it wasnโt originally written in English, so itโs important to know who translated to English. It says, transcribed by Marcion of Sinope, but any proto version of English at that time, whatever tribal language that would have been, would not be understandable at all to a modern English speaker. And certainly this Marcion, in 144AD, did not speak any form of English as he was from the ancient Sinope, which would have been in what is today the country of Turkey. In church history Marcion was known as a heretic and Marcionism is heretical and false according to all of scripture. This book encourages the resurgence of this heresy which had died out sometime around the 5th century. Compare Luke 13 with this book chapters 9-10 (pgs 33-39) to see all the deletions from scripture.

Interesting Read
Purportedly, this is Marcion's list of what he considered were the inspired texts of Scripture. Needless to say that Marcion was a heretic who taught that the violent God of the Hebrew Bible is not in any way associated with the compassionate God of the New Testament and, of course, that Jesus is not God. Marcion excluded those portions of Scripture he believed were not inspired; therefore his "Bible" contained only one Gospel and ten letters of Paul the apostle. Each of all these writings are very much shortened with much removed when compared to the Protestant (as well as Catholic) compilation of what is believed ti be the inspired texts; and, of course, due to it's brevity, the verse numbering system will not coincide with a regular Bible. It is a good and interesting read, which is why I gave it three stars, but, of course, it falls short of what the Bible teaches and assumes what it cannot really defend.

Careless trash
A slightly watered down version of Luke, completely unlike and even at odds with the major reconstructions such as from Roth, BeDuhn, Klinghardt. There is a minute useful part at the end where it gets explained in a few pages how Christianity slapped the "Old Testament" onto Marcion in an effort to shoehorn it into the new dogma. Marcion composed his gospel before Mark, Luke and Matthew, yes - but it was nothing like this. Regarding the Apostolikon there are a handful of useful takeaways but the reconstruction of it is similar to that of the Evangellion: just a text that is almost identical to what we have, without any notes, motivations, or anything useful
