The Gospel of Marcion, called by its adherents the Gospel of the Lord, was a text used by the mid-2nd century Christian teacher Marcion of Sinope to the exclusion of the other gospels. Its reconstructed fragments now appear among the New Testament apocrypha. Marcions teaching was condemned as heresy in the year 144. So many Catholic Christian apologists wrote treatises against Marcion after his death, in addition to the noted work of Tertullian, that it has been possible to reconstruct almost the whole of Marcions Gospel of the Lord from their quotations. Marcion, then, is known only through his critics, who considered his doctrines a deviation from orthodox Christianity.
