Review of 'Lost Christianities' on 'Goodreads'

No rating

I found this book to be in large part a refresher about how the Scriptures (New Testament) did not emerge whole and perfect upon the death of Jesus, but were compiled over a prolonged period of centuries. On the one hand, it's interesting material. On the other hand, it does seem to be more trouble than the subject is worth. It's not like this is new news.
