Have you ever wondered why early Christian leaders fought so fiercely over the nature of God?

What if the very foundations of your faith were built upon a theological battlefield?

In Antitheses, Marcion of Sinope presents one of the most controversial and provocative arguments in religious history. Written in the second century, this lost, forbidden text sought to permanently sever the ties between the Old and New Testaments. Marcion argued that the demanding, often wrathful creator God of the Hebrew scriptures could not possibly be the same supreme being of pure, unconditional love introduced by Jesus Christ. This radical dichotomy-the antitheses between law and grace, justice and mercy, fear and love-ignited a firestorm that divided the early Church.
