The Very First Bible

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 version of the New Testament is pretty much in line with the current new testament w/o the chapter & book separation. Very enlightening, definitely God's word original. I've been comparing it to my current bible. It's a very interesting read.Love it bout to read it again

Excellent reconstruction of Marcion's Bible!This is the book that motivated that other group of "Christians" to create their own Bible and Judaize their religion.Any fan of western theology should take the time to page thru The First Bible!

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.

Very enlightening truth of holy teachings a true blessing

Be VERY careful of the "church" that was formed from the basis of this text. As an ordained minister of Christianity, I can say that moments into reading the book, the position of the Marcionite "Christian" Church is absolutely heretical and made me want to tear those pages away from the core text of Scripture. They (the Marcionite group) contend the Old Testament is not a part of God's revelation to mankind. They assert the Old Testament has no place as Scripture, even trying to proof-text there position that God presented in the O.T. is not the same as the New Testament. They are absolutely lost and WAY OUTSIDE proper theology. Scary and appalling. As a very learned holder of many Biblical degrees, I would avoid the First Bible simply for the fact they are heretical in their positioning and dogma. Jesus will correct them eventually....

Very pleased with the Bible.

Some of the text seems translated into English vernacular that is consistent with a later time period...perhaps 1300's? More dates and historical information would also be helpful throughout the text. Historical or archaeological evidence to support claims is also needed.
