Summary

• In the first centuries after Christ, there was no "official" New Testament.

• Instead, early Christians read and fervently followed a wide variety of Scriptures—many more than we have today.

• Relying on these writings, Christians held beliefs that today would be considered bizarre.

• Some believed that there were two, 12, or as many as 30 gods.

• Some thought that a malicious deity, rather than the true God, created the world.
