Orthodoxy, Heresy, and Proto-Orthodoxy

As early christians wrestled with their beliefs and theologies surrounding Jesus, they both produced new texts and gospels, and edited existing ones to better fit with specific theological views.

Today on Misquoting Jesus, we're talking about how the New Testament was shaped by theological fights between early Christian groups.
