The New Testament was REWRITTEN, Not Just Compiled! - Markus Vinzent

Описание: Biblical scholar Markus Vinzent reveals how the New Testament was actually compiled BACKWARDS - and why the Paul's letters you're reading are "third-hand" at best.

Professor Vinzent (author of "Resetting the Origins of Christianity") explains:
Why working backwards from the 4th century changes everything
How church fathers like Irenaeus shaped the canon defensively
Why Marcion's "New Testament" came FIRST (140s CE)
How Paul's letters were rewritten multiple times
The Ignatius parallel that proves redaction happened
