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

The author mounts a systematic rebuttal to a recent skeptical critique that claims earlier, lost gospel narratives undermine Christianity's supernatural elements. He surveys patristic citations—with extended attention to Justin Martyr—comparing their moral precepts and narrative fragments with the canonical Gospels, and argues that alleged earlier sources, where they appear, preserve substantially the same supernatural story and may even attest to an earlier written form of the tradition. Close readings of cited passages about chastity, charity, patience, truthfulness, and judgment are used to show continuity with the received Gospels and to challenge the critic's conclusions.
