#7 Discoveries in the Nag Hammadi
from The History Of Religions and their Gods! · host The Skeptical Ghost Heathen
In this episode we are going take a look at what other literature early Christian communities were reading and was sacred that were not part of the cannon and deemed as heretical by the early church fathers of the second and third centuries. Why were these Gospels, Acts and Apocalypses lost, burned or hidden from their proto orthodox Christian enemies and what measures did this victorious group of Christians take in order to ensure their supremacy? (Based on Bart Ehrman's "Lost Christianities")
