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 π RESOURCES: Vinzent's book: "Resetting the Origins of Christianity" https://amzn.to/48ILJSf (Affiliate Link) Reconstructed Marcionite Paul - based on Vinzent's initial reconstructions (2023) - OPEN ACCESS - https://zenodo.org/records/8271824 English Translation based on the team's data-driven refinements (2025): https://amzn.to/42rruVs (Affiliate Link) Markus' Channel - βͺ@Patristicaβ¬ βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ π± FOLLOW FOR MORE YouTube: @cjcornthwaite Instagram: @cjcornthwaite Website: cjcornthwaite.com Email: [email protected] ποΈ FOOTNOTE FAMOUS (MY PODCAST) Conversations with the worldβs top scholars of the Bible and Christian origins. πhttps://www.footnotefamous.com/ OR Listen on your favorite streaming platform α―€ Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/4lSzQzT...
