Marcion, a second-century Christian, is an important figure in the history of the Christian Church. He grew up on the shores of the Black Sea. He strongly disliked much of what he read in the Jewish Bible. He boldly and forcefully claimed that the God of the Jews was a revengeful and inferior God and therefore he could in no way at all be connected with Jesus’ message of love. Parker shows that Marcion’s criticism of the Jewish Bible was unfounded. Marcion failed to understand that the Jewish theologians had their own way of explaining why life is as it is. Parker’s conclusion is that almost all the unpleasantness that upset Marcion so much happened on paper only. Parker asks, and tries to answer, many important questions. Among the followers of Marcion there was a great variety of attitudes and understandings, yet they lived together in peaceful coexistence. When a triumphant Church got rid of Marcionism as a movement, the world unfortunately lost an attractive and alternative form of Christianity.
