No manuscript survives. Its words reach us through church writers, chiefly Tertullian and Epiphanius, who quote and challenge it. Their accounts offer clues, but their hostility also calls for care: this is a gospel known through its critics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt its heart lies Marcion of Sinope’s striking belief: Jesus comes from a good God unknown to this world, distinct from the creator described in the Hebrew Scriptures. Closely related to Luke, this gospel has no birth story or family tree. Its differences open questions about scripture, belonging, and how the New Testament takes shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInside this book\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA gospel through hostile eyes\u003c\/strong\u003e – Follow quotations and disputes that preserve traces of a text its opponents reject.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe stranger God\u003c\/strong\u003e – Explore Marcion’s contrast between the creator and a previously unknown God of goodness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA different beginning\u003c\/strong\u003e – Encounter a gospel without a nativity narrative, yet with familiar teachings and healings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat stays and changes\u003c\/strong\u003e – Consider how similarities with Luke sit beside omissions that reflect Marcion’s central beliefs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe boundaries of scripture\u003c\/strong\u003e – Examine Marcion’s collection of Christian scriptures and the conflict surrounding its place outside the Bible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfect for readers curious about how the New Testament takes shape and anyone drawn to textual detective work rather than a complete, uninterrupted gospel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOpen the first page now and explore the traces of a gospel preserved by its critics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Library of Alexandria Press","offers":[{"title":"eBook","offer_id":58111227363676,"sku":"LOA-120-EB","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":58111227396444,"sku":"LOA-120-AU","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":58111227429212,"sku":"LOA-120-PB","price":5.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":58111227461980,"sku":"LOA-120-HC","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1027\/9442\/8764\/files\/loa-forbidden-00120-en.png?v=1792190264","url":"https:\/\/libraryofalexandria.com\/fr\/products\/loa-marcion-s-gospel","provider":"The Library of Alexandria","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
