No supporting study ore explanatory notes. Reference notes is only 10 pages, no real depth. It would have been great to include a modern English translation beside the original literal translation. But still deserves a place in the library. ( )

Purportedly, this is Marcion's list of what he considered were the inspired texts of Scripture. Needless to say that Marcion was a heretic who taught that the violent God of the Hebrew Bible is not in any way associated with the compassionate God of the New Testament and, of course, that Jesus is not God.

Marcion excluded those portions of Scripture he believed were not inspired; therefore his "Bible" contained only one Gospel and ten letters of Paul the apostle. Each of all these writings are very much shortened with much removed when compared to the Protestant (as well as Catholic) compilation of what is believed ti be the inspired texts; and, of course, due to it's brevity, the verse numbering system will not coincide with a regular Bible.

It is a good and interesting read, which is why I gave it three stars, but, of course, it falls short of what the Bible teaches and assumes what it cannot really defend. ( )
