For many years, it was thought that early Christianity was dominated by an orthodoxy and other groups, such as the Gnostics and those later deemed heresies, were minor and really just served the role of pests. But in 1934, Walter Bauer published Orthodoxy and Heresy in earliest Christianity and it flipped the consensus on its head. He demonstrated that it was, in fact, the other way around. Early Christianity was mostly these Gnostic and heretical groups and the proto-orthodoxy was a relatively small slice of this Christianity pie. Groups such as the Ebionites, the Valentinians, the Basilidians, the Sethians, docetic sects, and many more dominated early Christianity. They held beliefs that the church would later scoff at and deem as heresy. Gnosticism is an umbrella term that refers to many early Christian groups that believed themselves to be the ones in the know. They were convinced that the scriptures they used contained secret knowledge and they were the only ones who could access it. This idea manifested in many forms but one of the biggest and, in my view, the most influential form was Marcionism. Marcionism isn't really Gnosticism, but there are some shared ideas. Today's video will be on Marcion of Sinope, Marcionism, and the Marcionites. • Make sure to like and Subscribe! • Follow us on Facebook to see what we're up to: / atheistcommunityofmilwaukee • Follow us on Twitter: / mkeatheists • Support us on Patreon: / mkeatheists • Check out our new website: https://www.MilwaukeeAtheists.com • Milwaukee Atheists Official Merchandise: https://teespring.com/stores/milwauke... • Sources: • Bart Ehrman - Lost Christianities • Diarmaid MacCulloch - Christianity: The First 3000 Years • Lee Martin McDonald - The Biblical Canon • Edmon L.
