The Arch-Heretic Marcion

More about the book

Focusing on Marcion's role in Early Church history, this study addresses the misconceptions surrounding his life and theological contributions. It argues that Marcion's interpretation of Scripture was rooted in the Old Testament, portraying a vengeful God, rather than being influenced by the Apostle Paul as previously thought. This perspective redefines Marcion's impact on Christian exegesis and highlights his pivotal role in the early conflict between orthodoxy and heresy, marking him as the first to formally break from the Church over doctrinal issues.
