<h3><span style="color: #993366;">The Stories That Were Deleted From Biblical History</span></h3>
When Jesus was a boy, did he kill another child? Was Mary Magdalene a prostitute or an apostle, or was she once a prostitute who became an apostle? Did Cain commit incest? Will there be an apocalypse or is this God's trick to scare us? The answers to these questions aren't found in the Bible as we know it. Rather, they exist in scriptures banned when powerful leaders deemed them unacceptable for reasons both political and religious.
BANNED FROM THE BIBLE parts 1 and 2 reveal some of these alternative tales. It also examines why they were "too hot for Christianity."
<h3><span style="color: #993366;">Missing Gospels</span></h3>
The Life of Adam and Eve, The Book of Enoch, The Book of Jubilees, The Infancy Gospel of Thomas, The Gospel of Mary, The Apocalypse of Peter...these are just a few of the books that were left out of the Bible. The reasons why they were excluded provide astonishing insight into the concerns of church leaders and scholars responsible for spreading the faith an illuminating look at early Christian and religious history.
One hundred and fifty years after the birth of Jesus, a man named Marcion decided that a Christian Bible was needed to replace the Hebrew Bible. Church leaders opposed Marcion's banning of the Hebrew books. And yet they agreed that Christians should have a Bible to call their own. After Constantine the Great converted to Christianity in the 4th century, a serious effort was made to compile a Christian Bible. It became important to include both the Hebrew scriptures and the Christian manuscripts. Both the Old Testament and the New Testament. It took another 40 years before a final list of New Testament books was officially canonised by the church. Many of the most popular were excluded. Upon examination today, many of these writings attempt to resolve inconsistencies and questions raised from reading the Bible.
BANNED FROM THE BIBLE parts 1 and 2 examine the stories in some of these books. This series looks mainly at how they were rediscovered and what they might mean to us today.
