Lost Christianities
A reading path through early Christian communities, teachings and devotional works that sit outside most modern biblical canons.
One question.
Multiple witnesses.
The records in this collection do not all say the same thing, and they do not all come from the same community or period. The value is in reading them beside one another while keeping those differences visible.
