Gospel of the Ebonites

Full title: The Gospel of the Ebonites 
Author: Unknown
Published: Hypatia Publishing 2024
Format: Hard Cover, E-book.
Content: The gospel derives from a gospel harmony of the Synoptic Gospels, composed in Greek with various expansions and abridgments reflecting the theology of the writer. Distinctive features include the absence of the virgin birth and of the genealogy of Jesus; an Adoptionist Christology, in which Jesus is chosen to be God's Son at the time of his Baptism; the abolition of the Jewish sacrifices by Jesus; and an advocacy of vegetarianism.
The Gospel of the Ebionites is the conventional name given by scholars to an apocryphal gospel that was extant only as seven brief quotations in a heresiology known as the Panarion, by Epiphanius of Salamis; he misidentified it as the "Hebrew" gospel, believing it to be a truncated and modified version of the Gospel of Matthew. The quotations were embedded in a polemic to point out inconsistencies in the beliefs and practices of a Jewish Christian sect known as the Ebionites relative to Nicene orthodoxy. Epiphanius is know for his over the top trashing of anyone he sees as heritical.

Among the average person, Meh. Scholars of the Early Church are thrilled for any recovered book. The usual pissing and moaning by the Unenlightened religious. Fill the jar, then we'll talk.
