Lost Christianities Reviews
Ehrman's racy style is gripping ... and he offers a vivid picture of what different groups believed and why. The Church of England Newspaper The strengths of this book are multiple. It brings together discussion about a range of significant texts; it builds a wider historical frame in which to understand such writings; it is appreciative of the diversity of Christianity and seeks to hear those voices that have hitherto been too often marginalized; and, it is extremely readable while remaining a significant work. This book should be read by all those who are keen to appreciate more fully the multifaceted nature of Christianity prior to the fourth century. The Expository Times
