Lost Christianities

Lost Christianities refers to early Christian groups and writings that didn’t become mainstream or were later deemed heretical by the dominant church. These groups often had differing beliefs about Jesus, scripture, and church authority. Over time, their texts and teachings were suppressed or lost, leaving only fragments or references. Studying lost Christianities helps us understand the diversity of early Christianity and how orthodox doctrines were formed through debates and disagreements. It reveals that early Christian history was complex, with multiple perspectives competing for acceptance before a unified tradition emerged.
