Synopsis
If you're not reading the same bible as the first Christians in 144 A.D. you're reading just another book. The first Christian bible is not only the foundation of faith that virtually every denomination traces its canonical roots back to - it's also the only place you'll find the gospel preached by Paul the Apostle that he specifically references numerous times: "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) In addition to the Gospel of the Lord you'll also read in their original, unedited form Galatians, 1st and 2nd Corinthians, Romans, 1st and 2nd Thessalonians, Laodiceans, Colossians, Philemon and Philippians. That is the entirety of the first Christian bible as it was gathered and transcribed in 144 A.D. and as it is now. Numbered chapters and verses in standard bible format. The Very First Bible also allows us to see which scriptures were edited and added as it ballooned from one gospel and ten books into 73 books and four gospels over time. For the first time you will read the Christian bible exactly as it was transcribed in 144 A.D. and one of the first things you'll notice is that it doesn't contain the Torah* (Old Testament). You will see the original Gospel of the Lord that was preached by the Apostle Paul and Scriptures reveal God through Jesus, as it happened. After 2,000-years of 'interpretive editing,' additions, deletions, theological focus groups and sloppy translations, the modern bible has more in common with modern art than it does with the very first Christian bible. This special first edition includes illustrations and a Study and Reference Guide where you'll learn about the people and events surrounding The Very First Bible and Marcion of Sinope, the man that religious scholars say is responsible for the format of the New Testament. *The Torah (Old Testament) law was excluded from Christian canon at the Council of Jerusalem in 48 A.D., If you're not reading the same bible as the first Christians in 144 A.D. you're reading just another book.

The Very First Bible also acts as a cryptographic key, allowing us to see which scriptures were edited and added as it ballooned from one gospel and ten books into 73 books and four gospels over time.

After 2,000-years of 'interpretive editing, ' additions, deletions, theological focus groups and sloppy translations, the modern bible has more in common with modern art than it does with the very first Christian bible. This special first edition includes illustrations along with a Study and Reference Guide where you'll learn about the key people and events surrounding The Very First Bible and Marcion of Sinope, the man that religious scholars say is responsible for the format of the New Testament. *The apostles agreed to exclude the Torah (Old Testament) law from Christian canon at the Council of Jerusalem in 48 A.D. after determining it was antithetical to the gospel of Christ. It was later added to the first Christian bible in 325 A.D. by order of a pagan Roman emperor at the Council of Nicaea. This subject and others are covered more fully in the study guide included in the book.

It's just a good quality paperback . Nothing extraordinary, but also nothing bad . The pages are a little thin , but not so thin as to tear easily . I will note that I received another book last week for free and this one has very good very white thicker pages . That being said , I still find The First Bible as being good enough to give 5 stars .

So this book is in very good condition. It’s just as described. ( But: the contents are not accurate). I’m disappointed, but only with the actual content of the book. I wish I hadn’t paid so much.

We often forget that in the first years of history on this, the Bible was not yet in it's form as we know it today. This is important to remember, as much of it was handed down verbally, but this reveals how accurately that was done! Praise God!

Great value. Exactly as described. Packed well and with care. Shipped very promptly. Seller was communicative, honest and responsive, resolving a concern I had that was ultimately found to be misplaced and unwarranted.

Book is just a described, brand new and unread, super well packed for shipping. very good price, AND fast delivery. Definitely a five-star transaction from this seller, very happy with my purchase. Fascinating/disturbing book, too, with a close and well-referenced look at a little-known side of history still affecting the world today.
