  What if early Christian “heretics” preserved alternative visions of Jesus—Jewish, purely gracious, or prophetically inspired—before official orthodoxy took shape? 
  This anthology presents fragments of the Ebionites’ Jewish-Christian gospel, Marcion’s radical canon, and oracles from the Montanist “New Prophecy.” Updated for modern readers, these texts reveal communities that clashed with mainstream leaders yet influenced the theology, worship, and scriptural boundaries we take for granted today. 
  Included Texts:Gospel of the Ebionites & Fragments of Jewish-Christian SectsMarcion’s Edited Luke & Pauline Summaries (Patristic Reconstructions)Montanist Oracles – Priscilla and Maximilla’s prophecies.Epistle of the Apostles & Patristic Excerpts – Early refutations and context. 
  What You’ll Discover Inside:A More Jewish Jesus? – Ebionite dietary laws, rejection of sacrifice, the role of the Torah.Marcion’s God of Pure Grace – A stark divide from the “inferior” Old Testament creator.Prophetic Frenzy vs. Church Order – Montanist oracles challenging hierarchical authority.The Formation of the Canon – How these debates forced decisions on scripture and doctrine. 
  Meet the “heretics” who shaped orthodoxy by forcing early Christianity to define its boundaries. Consider their provocative ideas—and why they ultimately lost favor.

  The basis of the 2017 film adaptation by Andrés Curbelo and David Maler. 
   
   
   
  In 1976 Santo Domingo, Ángel Maceta uncovers the real story behind the murder of his father, Puro Maceta, ten years prior. In the process, events that unfolded during and after the war are revealed, unleashing a series of small revolutions in his community that in turn unravel other intrigues of what really took place during the Civil War of 1965. 
   
   
   
  Weaving together the brutal realities of war with the innocence of childhood imagination, Reinbou explores this era in Dominican society, a time when the United States sent Marines into the country to back a coup against Juan Bosch, the first democratically elected president of the Dominican Republic since the end of the brutal, three-decade-long dictatorship of the genocidal Rafael Trujillo. Moving between 1965 and 1976, we follow the revolutionary efforts of Puro and the transformative, feverish adventures of Ángel. 
   
   
   
  Told through the eyes of a child and a varied cast of friends, family, and neighbors, Reinbou explores the consequences of political and societal upheaval, corruption, and violence in modern Dominican society.
