4.9/5 (31683 ratings)

Description:The Gospel of Marcion or the Gospel of the Lord was a text used by the mid-2nd century Xian teacher Marcion to the exclusion of other gospels. Its reconstructed fragments appear among the apocrypha. So many Catholic apologists wrote treatises against Marcion after his death, in addition to the noted diatribe by Tertullian, that it has been possible to reconstruct almost the whole of his Gospel of the Lord from their quotations. Marcion, then, is known only thru his critics, who considered him a major threat to the form of Xianity they knew. There are two possible relationships between Marcion's gospel & Luke's:(1) Marcion as revisionist of Luke:Church Fathers wrote & many scholars agree that Marcion edited Luke to fit his own theology. This view is consistent with the way he altered other books in his canon. It's also likely because Luke's gospel was believed to be complete by Marcion's time. In it, he eliminated the 1st two chapters concerning the nativity & beginning at Capernaum & made modifications of the remainder to promote the gnostic view that, 1st, Jesus didn't follow the Prophets &, 2nd, the earth is evil.(2) Marcion pre-dating Luke:John Knox Sr. in Marcion & the New Testament was the 1st to propose in 1942 that Marcion's Gospel may have preceded Luke's Gospel & Acts, echoing Marcion's own claims. Some recent scholars have agreed. In this case, Luke's gospel wasn't finished. There are two possibilities: Either Marcion & Luke both based their gospels on an earlier, common source (such as Matthew & Mark in the Augustinian hypothesis), or the Gospel of Luke was based on Marcion's gospel. For an example of evidence supporting this view, compare Luke 5:39 to 5:36-38. Some scholars question whether Marcion deleted 5:39 from his Gospel or whether it was added later, by Proto-orthodox Xianity, to counteract a Marcionist interpretation of 5:36-38.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
