The First Christian Bible of 144 A.D. Original, unedited Evangelion and Apostolikon. In 34 A.D., Jesus appeared directly to Paul on the road to Damascus and revealed to him a gospel - not received from any human source, but delivered by divine commission. "But I certify you, brethren," Paul would later write, "that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ." (Galatians 1:8–9) UPDATE FOR THE PRESBYTER EDITION: This listing now contains the newly expanded and updated printing, featuring a built-in pre-Nicene liturgical guide and a selection of pastoral prayers integrated directly into the appendix. A complete resource for worship at home. The bible itself remains, as always, unchanged. This edition empowers presbyters and parishioners with the tools needed to establish independent house churches ( domus ecclesiae ), faithfully mirroring the structure of the apostolic era. "In the fifteenth year of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, Jesus descended into Capernaum, a city in Galilee..." (Evangelion 1:1) In this original canon, Jesus arrives in fully human form by divine descent in 29 A.D. - wholly independent of birth, genealogy, or blood covenants and reveals for the first time, God Our Father. This volume is that Bible - restored, translated from the original Koine Greek (Pontiaka), and presented without centuries of retroactive editing. Numbered chapters and verses. This Complete Edition Contains Three Comprehensive Components: The Original Canon: The Evangelion (the early, pure gospel Paul refers to as "my gospel") and the Apostolikon (Paul's ten original epistles: Galatians, 1-2 Corinthians, Romans, 1-2 Thessalonians, Laodiceans, Philippians, Colossians, Philemon), complete with Marcion's original prologues. Pre-Nicene Liturgical Guide: The sacred order of readings, prayers, and pastoral observances used by the first churches prior to the Diocletian persecution. Reference and Study Guide: A comprehensive historical breakdown (DOI:10.5281/zenodo.17964659) detailing the 144 A.D. confrontation, the suppression of the text, and its 1,900-year survival through dedicated archival preservation. Own the original Christian sacred text of a faith whose first word was not "begat," but "descended." Reconnect with the first Christians and their bible spiritually anchored with the words, "But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ." - Galatians 1:8-9 Review: Beautiful - A wonderful peace literature to add to my collection ✨️ ❤️ i enjoyed reading this version.

The life and times that I didn't know about.
I bought this book to study ancient history in the times Christians had it so hard. I would recommend any student researching the times of the church during Christ to buy this book. Very interesting read.

Amazing!
I truly enjoyed reading this! I love that it is ancient and that what is found in this book is also found in the Bible. It is much shorter, yet still felt complete. Awesome read!

A 1st reading
This version of the New Testament is pretty much in line with the current new testament w/o the chapter & book separation. Very enlightening, definitely God's word original. I've been comparing it to my current bible. It's a very interesting read. Love it bout to read it again

From the Trash Heap it Came, & There Should Return
A book worthy of tossing in the fire as heretical. This is propaganda by the heretical Marcionite Church. Just look it up if you want to understand better the heresy or read the other one star reviews. If you are looking to confirm an unbiblical view of who Jesus Christ is, truly one with the Father, and Spirit, sadly, this book will help you continue to sit in damnable unbelief. Jesus Christ is Lord of all. Marcion was a heretic and the early apostles and teachers who maintained the truth of Christ and those first disciples who were taught by Him, fought against encroaching Gnosticism and marcionism which taught and still teaches Jesus Christ is not God come in the flesh to show us the Father and save those who put their hope and trust in His Only begotten Son, who’s sacrifice alone is accepted as payment for the sin of mankind. They teach two different deities in old and new testament, inconsistent with each other, which is false teaching. You will do better reading the Geneva Bible in English, to have a closer look at the text in English, in which the chapters and verses are well formatted with book titles printed at the top of every page for easy reference. There is no information I could find about who translated this copy in my hand, alleged to be authentic to the first century. Well, it wasn’t originally written in English, so it’s important to know who translated to English. It says, transcribed by Marcion of Sinope, but any proto version of English at that time, whatever tribal language that would have been, would not be understandable at all to a modern English speaker. And certainly this Marcion, in 144AD, did not speak any form of English as he was from the ancient Sinope, which would have been in what is today the country of Turkey. In church history Marcion was known as a heretic and Marcionism is heretical and false according to all of scripture. This book encourages the resurgence of this heresy which had died out sometime around the 5th century. Compare Luke 13 with this book chapters 9-10 (pgs 33-39) to see all the deletions from scripture.

Book review
OK, SHORT BOOK.

Careless trash
A slightly watered down version of Luke, completely unlike and even at odds with the major reconstructions such as from Roth, BeDuhn, Klinghardt. 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
