AlbakiReads Editorial

An edition centered on Marcion’s early Christian canon

The book presents the Evangelion and Apostolikon as a reconstruction of Marcion’s 144 A.D. Christian canon, with ten epistles listed in its contents and Marcion’s prologues included. The publisher describes this edition as translated from Koine Greek and unedited; those are claims made in the listing. Alongside the texts, it adds a pre-Nicene liturgical guide with readings, prayers, and pastoral observances, plus a historical study guide about the 144 A.D. confrontation and the text’s subsequent suppression and preservation. Together, these sections make the volume both a presentation of a particular early Christian scriptural collection and a reference to its worship context and history.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers studying Marcion and early Christian textual history
  • Those interested in pre-Nicene liturgy and house-church worship
  • Readers seeking a volume that combines religious texts with historical reference material

Book overview

The First Christian Bible of 144 A.D. Original, unedited Evangelion and Apostolikon.

 

UPDATE FOR THE PRESBYTER EDITION: This listing now contains the newly expanded and updated printing, featuring a built-in pre-Nicene liturgical guide and a selection of pastoral prayers integrated directly into the appendix.

 

A complete resource for autonomous worship. This edition empowers presbyters and parishioners with the tools needed to establish independent house churches (domus ecclesiae), faithfully mirroring the structure of the apostolic era.

 

Translated from the original Koine Greek (Pontiaka), and presented without centuries of retroactive editing.

 

This Complete Edition Contains Three Comprehensive Components:

 

  • The Original Canon: The Evangelion (the early, pure gospel Paul refers to as "my gospel") and the Apostolikon (Paul's ten original epistles: Galatians, 1-2 Corinthians, Romans, 1-2 Thessalonians, Laodiceans, Philippians, Colossians, Philemon), complete with Marcion's original prologues.
  • Pre-Nicene Liturgical Guide: The sacred order of readings, prayers, and pastoral observances used by the first churches prior to the Diocletian persecution.
  • Reference and Study Guide: A comprehensive historical breakdown (DOI:10.5281/zenodo.17964659) detailing the 144 A.D. confrontation, the suppression of the text, and its 1,900-year survival through dedicated archival preservation.

 

Own the original Christian sacred text of a faith whose first word was not "begat," but "descended." Reconnect with the first Christians and their bible.
