description: Winston Churchill reminded us that history is written by the victors. Nowhere was that more true, according to biblical scholar Bart Ehrman, than in New Testament history. In this fascinating study, he reconstructs early forms of Christianity that were suppressed, reformed, or forgotten. Lost Christianities describes the battles between "proto-orthodox Christians" (the eventual victors) and their Jewish-Christian Ebionite, anti-Jewish Marconite, and Gnostic rivals.
