Jude, the half-brother of Jesus, exhorted believers to “contend earnestly for the faith once for all delivered to the saints” (Jude 3). What was that original Hebrew-oriented faith? Reconstructing the original apostolic teaching from the evidence of the New Testament, this book systematically develops the true gospel foundation given to the first generation of believers. Learn the surprising message that inspired the first Jewish Christians (and then compare with what is taught today): How did Jesus’ bodily resurrection create a new way to grasp prophecy? What did a crucified Messiah really signify, and what about the cross? How did believing Jews transition from Old to New Covenant? Along with Abraham and David, why was Adam so important? What is the true nature of the Christian hope of eternal life? “Jim Leuschen’s book, The Lost Gospel of the First Christians, is a brilliant challenge to the modern Church to restore the Gospel that was preached in the early days following Christ’s resurrection. Calling us to recognize the center of the apostles’ preaching as the resurrection, rather than Christ’s death on the cross, Jim recaptures the New Testament’s focus on Christ’s victory over death as the essence of His triumph.” —Joe McIntyre, founder and senior minister, Word of His Grace Church President, Kenyon’s Gospel Publishing Society

An accessible translation of this important lost gospel of the Bible, with an account if its reconstruction and analysis of its far-reaching implications. This is the first full account of the lost gospel of Jesus’ original followers, revealing him to be a Jewish Socrates who was mythologized into the New Testament Christ. Compiled by his followers during his lifetime, the Book of Q (from Quelle, German for source) became the prime foundation for the New Testament gospels. Once lost, it has now been reconstructed through a century of scholarship. Instead of telling a dramatic story about Jesus’ life as the Christian gospels do, the Book of Q contained only his sayings. The first followers of Jesus focused not upon his life and destiny, but on the social experiment called for by his teachings. Their book collected his proverbs, aphorisms, and parables to offer instruction in living authentically in the midst of a most confusing time. In presenting his own translation, Burton Mack explains how the text of Q was determined and explores the implications of the discovery that Jesus was transformed into the dying and rising messianic savior of Christianity by the New Testament gospels.

Waiting to be rediscovered in the British Library is an ancient manuscript of the early Church, copied by an anonymous monk. The manuscript is at least 1,450 years old, possibly dating to the first century. And now, The Lost Gospel provides the first ever translation from Syriac into English of this unique document that tells the inside story of Jesus’ social, family, and political life.The Lost Gospel takes the reader on an unparalleled historical adventure through a paradigm shifting manuscript. What the authors eventually discover is as astounding as it is surprising: the confirmation of Jesus’ marriage to Mary Magdalene; the names of their two children; the towering presence of Mary Magdalene; a previously unknown plot on Jesus’ life (thirteen years prior to the crucifixion); an assassination attempt against Mary Magdalene and their children; Jesus’ connection to political figures at the highest level of the Roman Empire; and a religious movement that antedates that of Paul—the Church of Mary Magdalene.Part historical detective story, part modern adventure, The Lost Gospel reveals secrets that have been hiding in plain sight for millennia.

The standard account of early Christianity tells us that the first centuries after Jesus' death witnessed an efflorescence of Christian sects, each with its own gospel. We are taught that these alternative scriptures, which represented intoxicating, daring, and often bizarre ideas, were suppressed in the fourth and fifth centuries, when the Church canonized the gospels we know today: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The rest were lost, destroyed, or hidden. In The Many Faces of Christ, the renowned religious historian Philip Jenkins thoroughly refutes our most basic assumptions about the Lost Gospels. He reveals that dozens of alternative gospels not only survived the canonization process but in many cases remained influential texts within the official Church. Whole new gospels continued to be written and accepted. For a thousand years, these strange stories about the life and death of Jesus were freely admitted onto church premises, approved for liturgical reading, read by ordinary laypeople for instruction and pleasure, and cited as authoritative by scholars and theologians. The Lost Gospels spread far and wide, crossing geographic and religious borders. The ancient Gospel of Nicodemus penetrated into Southern and Central Asia, while both Muslims and Jews wrote and propagated gospels of their own. In Europe, meanwhile, it was not until the Reformation and Counter-Reformation that the Lost Gospels were effectively driven from churches. But still, many survived, and some continue to shape Christian practice and belief in our own day. Offering a revelatory new perspective on the formation of the biblical canon, the nature of the early Church, and the evolution of Christianity, The Many Faces of Christ restores these Lost Gospels to their central place in Christian history.

This book for general readers relates the story of the discovery of the Book of Q, the earliest collection of the sayings of Jesus that has long been recognized by biblical scholars as the basis for much of the gospels. A closer study of the Book of Q reveals that the followers of Jesus did not think of him as the Messiah or Christ. Neither did they believe that he was the Son of God, or that his death was divine, tragic, or a saving event. They were simply Jesus people, and the narrative gospels as we know them are the result of early Christian myth making.

Today, the New Testament consists of four gospels. Yet, before the modern Bible was formalized, numerous writings relating to the first days of Christianity circulated among the early communities. In the Middle Ages, these writings were condemned by Church and proclaimed out of the law. Today, they are available to everyone and interest modern researchers and people interested in religion. Among others, in this book, you can find the Gospel of St. Peter, the Gospel of Eve, the Gospel of Philip, and the Gospel of Judas.

“Offers more information about the first-century world of early Christians, asking, ‘Could Christ’s original teachings have truly been lost?’” —Foreword Reviews “Whoever finds the interpretation of these sayings will not experience death.” —from the Gospel of Thomas The work of scholars such as Elaine Pagels and Marvin Meyer have captured the imagination of the public by setting forth the Gospel of Thomas and other lost teachings of Jesus. Now Peter Novak, in Original Christianity, brings forth a critical element essential for fully understanding these scriptures. Novak argues that the authors of these early texts subscribed to the Binary Soul Doctrine—an ancient belief system that allows for both reincarnation and an eternal afterlife. Novak’s interdisciplinary approach offers fresh insights on the beliefs and politics of the early church founders. He points out that reincarnation was a commonly held Christian belief until it was voted out of “official” Christianity and the record expunged. This newfound key reveals the true identities of many mysterious Biblical figures, such as Lazarus, Barabbas, Judas, and especially the Apostle Thomas, who may not only have been Jesus’ identical twin brother, but indeed a second Christ in his own right, who lived to produce a genetically identical bloodline. More important still, the rediscovery of the lost theology of Original Christianity means Christ’s central message of personal integrity can again take center stage.
