Lost Christianities
Six complete reading editions from early Christian communities, teaching traditions and devotional literature outside most modern biblical canons.
One question.
Multiple witnesses.
The records in this collection do not all say the same thing, and they do not all come from the same community or period. The value is in reading them beside one another while keeping those differences visible.

Read in sequence for the clearest introduction, or open any record independently.
The Didache
Read the complete surviving Hoole translation with the manuscript record and later interpretation kept separate.
The Epistle of Barnabas
Codex placement is kept distinct from claims about canonical status: this edition does not claim that a council removed the work from the Bible.
The Acts of Paul and Thecla
Tertullian's objection records a real controversy over Thecla, teaching and baptism; it does not establish the old catalogue claim of a single fourth-century suppression.
The Odes of Solomon
This is Harris's complete surviving English Ode body: no missing passage is silently supplied.
The Dialogue of the Savior
Read the complete surviving witness with its manuscript damage and editorial signs kept visible.
The Sophia of Jesus Christ
Read both surviving versions in full, with the manuscript gaps and witness boundaries kept clear.
