In this interview with Youtube host Derek Lambert of MythVision Podcast, I put forth my thesis that Paul created a new religion that became known as Christianity by taking these four texts from the Hebrew Bible and interpreting them in ways totally foreign to their contextual meanings. I fully realize that…

How Christianity Forgot its Only First Person Witness to Jesus’ Resurrection?

Late last night I uploaded a 12 minute video on Youtube and has had 12K views in less than 24 hours! It was nothing out of the ordinary, but the title says it all–and I think people just have not thought much about this. What do we know about Jesus’…

One of the enduring questions historians of early Christianity struggle with is the issue of when we can properly speak of the “new religion” of Christianity, as contrasted with a variety of forms of Judaism in the decades following the death of Jesus the Jew.
