Farmer's THE GOSPEL OF JESUS: THE PASTORAL RELEVANCE OF THE SYNOPTIC PROBLEM, and he mentioned the Church's rejection of Marcionism. Farmer included a long discussion of Isaiah 52 and 53, showing how the Suffering Servant oracles was one of the OT bases of the NT Gospels. So it was no surprise the Church opposed and rejected Marcion's advocacy of rejecting of so much of the Bible. <br /><br />I think the Muratorian Fragment was composed in opposition to Marcion's ideas.<br /><br />Sean Sean M.

"Gospel" was Luke's Gospel minus OT references. "Apostle" was Paul's Epistles. The OT was to be rejected as the scripture of a different God.<br />Paul.paulshackley2017@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17704115766930975286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3538502828554372917.post-31535247193073781282017-04-02T17:40:27.433+01:002017-04-02T17:40:27.433+01:00Kaor, Paul!

He advocated REJECTING most of the Bible, such as the entire OT and large parts of the NT. Which the Catholic Church rejected as a heresy. I think the Muratorian Fragment, one of the earliest listings of the books of Scripture regarded as authoritative, seems to have been written in opposition to Marcion circa AD 140 in Rome.<br /><br />While alien, non human scriptures are not mentioned as such in any of the Technic Civilization stories, we do see alien scriptures being quoted in Anderson's "The Word To Space."<br /><br />Addendum. I've tried to track down the anthology containing "The Word To Space, but I seemed to have mislaid it. I wanted to cite the name of the alien scriptures Poul Anderson invented. I'm rather dismayed to think I have only one copy of "Word."<br /><br />While no mention of the Merseian deity, "The God" as having scriptures is made, I think we know a little more about the Ythrian religion. I definitely recall mention of how "God the Hunter" had prophets who preached the monotheistic New Faith on Ythri.<br /><br />SeanSean M.
