Jac3510,
I will look forward to what you can find out. Thank you.In answer to the specific question, "Were early Christian writings destroyed by Church Fathers in order for the Church to assert its version of the Christian message to the exclusion of all others?" the short answer is "no." But, with a qualifer, let me look a little bit into the root of the allegations. I've heard the claim before, but I've never examined its source materials. I will talk to my Church History prof. about it this week and get back to you on it.
