The Very First Bible

Written by Marcion of Sinope

Narrated by Darren Kelama

If you're not reading the same bible as the first Christians in AD 144 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 listen to 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 AD 144 and as it is now.

Numbered sections and verses in standard bible format. 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 10 books into 73 books and four gospels over time. For the first time you will listen to the first Christian bible exactly as it was transcribed in AD 144 and one of the first things you'll notice is that it doesn't contain the Torah* (Old Testament). You will listen to the original Gospel of the Lord that was preached by the Apostle Paul and scriptures reveal God through Jesus, as it happened. The original prologues for each epistle are also included.

Reviews for The Very First Bible

[atdcross · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

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.
