Spin Doctrines: Marcion and the First Cut Canon

In this episode of Nerd Out with the Word Out, Brian and Travis dive into Marcionism—an early Christian “spin-off” that tried to cut ties with the Old Testament and put Paul’s letters center stage. From ship-owning heretics to five-volume takedowns, they unpack Marcion’s radical ideas, his edited canon, and why rejecting the struggle of faith might be the real heresy.
