The Lost Gospel and Its Contents Or, The Author of "Supernatural Religion" Refuted by Himself

A careful and measured study, this work tackles the bold claim that Christianity’s miraculous foundations rest on a lost, pre‑canonical gospel. The author sets out to examine the arguments of a well‑known critic who tries to undermine the authority of the four accepted Gospels by pointing to supposed earlier sources. By questioning the credibility of that critique, the book invites listeners to explore how early Christian testimony has been understood and presented.

Drawing on a wide range of second‑century writers—especially the extensive passages of Justin Martyr—the author compares quoted material with the familiar Gospel accounts. Detailed extracts from the Ante‑Nicene Library help illustrate whether these early fathers truly relied on a different narrative or simply echoed the texts we now hold as canonical. The investigation balances rigorous scholarship with clear explanations, offering a nuanced look at how early Christian literature supports the continuity of the traditional Gospel story.
