Lost Christianities:  
Christian Scriptures and the 
Battles Over Authentication    
 
In this search for lost Christianities, we’ll 
learn why it’s so fascinating. Focusing 
on the remarkable fact that many of the 
struggles of early Christians were not 
against nonbelievers but against other 
Christians, Dr. Ehrman introduces us to these 
forgotten sects. These include the Ebionites, 
the Marcionites and the Gnostics. Exploring 
little known and sometimes controversial 
Scriptures considered authoritative by 
these groups, this course will enhance 
your understanding of Christianity ... its 
early diversity ... buried findings ... and how 
the Bible truly evolved. A Distinguished 
Professor of Religious Studies at UNC, 
Bart Denton Ehrman is also the author 
of more than 30 books, including six 
New York Times bestsellers.
