Lost Christianities - Lectures 01 - 24 : Bart D. Ehrman

I think this is important for any bible scholar or Christian alike. Some major reveals for me personally, I hope there is interest found in this. Time Index below for all 24 lectures. See Comments section for full info spiel.

Essentially, this course by Bart D. Ehrman is about the battles over authentication (and consensus reality, I might add): if other types of Christian scriptures existed, how was the New Testament we now know put together and approved?

Who decided which books should be included? On what grounds?

How do we know that those who selected the final books got it right? If many of these writings were forgeries, how can we be sure that forgeries weren't included in the New Testament?

These are questions that naturally arise from the search for lost Christianities, and which make it such a new and appealing subject to study
