Scripture Wars : How Justin Martyr Rescued The Old Testament For Christians

Just about a century after Jesus died, a battle began for the Old Testament a custody battle, so to speak, over its guardianship, its contents, even over its very right to be called a Christian book. The matters at stake were so fundamental that most modern Catholics don’t realize they were ever disputed and yet the outcome was so critical that it continues to affect every part of our Christian journey on a daily basis.

In Scripture Wars, author Rod Bennett examines the questions which gave rise to Christianity’s first two important splinter groups the equal-and-opposite heresies of the Judaizers and the Marcionites.
