"Building on the success of his best selling book Breaking the Da Vinci Code, Darrell L. Bock examines the claims of scholars who suggest that in the first century there were many Christianities that were eventually drowned out by the group that would later come to represent orthodoxy. In The Missing Gospels Dr. Bock compares and contrasts these ‘alternative Christian’ movements with what he terms ‘traditional Christianity’.
Every layman needs a copy of this important contribution to the debate on early Christianity. Not only will it help in debunking certain misconceptions about the early faith, but it will serve as a primer for the study of alternative religious movements in antiquity. This could certainly be used to teach an adult Bible study–in fact it seems designed for just such a purpose, having review questions asked at the end of each chapter."
"I think this is an excellent book and study of the different Orthodox texts in contrast to the Gnostic texts, their contents, dating, and analysis. As Bock points out the New School of Early Church History has tried a revisionist leap without much data to support their claims of the early dating of the Gnostic equality to the Orthodox Christian Faith. This book came out around the same time as the whole Gospel of Judas thing, but he does touch on it briefly."
