There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
That said, there are more spelling and capitalization errors than I'd expect from a published translation.
I would have given this three stars if not for the "References and Study Guide" section at the end. It does a good job of describing the history and reasoning behind Marcionite beliefs contrasted with mainstream Christianity. If there's a reason to buy this, it's the section at the end and the Evangelicon at the beginning.
The book offers no trail of scholarly authorship and adds nothing to the conversation other than unsubstantiated opinions, which I would be willing to tolerate to some degree, if not for the fact that every uttered sentence in its commentary is presented as fact and is, at its core, authentic anti-Semitism. To the writers and editors of this work's commentary, please know that your efforts to erase Jewish history will never be realized.

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
Interesting to note also thzt the christian marcionite church survided late as the 10th century in islamic ruled lands (Syria and Persia) while the church "disappeared in the 4th century in the roman lands after Constantine declared it heretical.
