23. The Movement Headed by Jesus' Brother
survived into the 5th century and eventually became known as the Ebionites. Documents like The Gospel of the Ebionites are known only from fragments quoted by church fathers. However, from these secondary sources like Epiphanius and Eusebius we have a reasonably idea of what the Ebinotes believed.

From the Wikipedia article:
The majority of Church Fathers agree that the Ebionites rejected many of the central Christian views of Jesus such as the pre-existence, divinity, virgin birth, atoning death, and physical resurrection of Jesus.1
