The “Bad” Idea that Took Over the World

In this 2015 lecture I talk about the ways in which dualistic forms of thinking about the cosmos, often referred to as “Enochian” in their Jewish forms, and “Gnostic” in the wider Hellenistic world, basically took over the Western world and fundamentally transformed Judaism, Christianity, and Islam into religions of…

Did Paul Think Jesus Preexisted Before His Human Birth?

I think most Christians today would answer “yes” without much hesitation. The idea that “Jesus is God,” or the “Son of God, or at least that he is “Divine,” however that complex notion might be explained–seems pretty well a standard part of Christian faith. But was that the view of Jesus…

How Does the Apostle Paul Use–or Perhaps Abuse–Texts of the Hebrew Bible?

Disparaging Jesus–Roman Gossip and Jewish Legend

In this 2006 lecture, part of a series on “Lost Christianities,” I talk about the alternative ways in which Jesus was viewed in his own time, in contrast to the Orthodox Trinitarian versions of “Christianity” that triumphed and spread to over two billion people in our own time. Arians, Ebionites,…

How Does Ibn Shaprut’s Hebrew Matthew Compare with Greek Matthew?

In this 2006 lecture I explore some of the rather remarkable textual readings of the 14th century polemical treatise Even Bochan [Isaiah 28:16] written by Shem-Tob ben-Isaac ben-Shaprut Ibn Shaprut, a Castilian Jewish physician, living later in Aragon. The 12th/ 13th book contains a Hebrew version of the complete text…

Digging in the Holy Land–How Texts, Archaeology, and Science Meet

I thought some of you might enjoy this lecture I did in 2019 at the Georgia Southern University College of Science and Mathematics to a diverse group of scientists interested in the technical and scientific aspects of some of the archaeological discoveries in which I have been involved. This was…

Tracking John the Baptizer and His Followers–Including Jesus!

This video lecture from 2006 covers new textual and archaeological evidence on “Yochanan HaMatvil,” or “John the Dipper,” including the Suba cave west of Jerusalem of which I have written much over the years–in both my books (especially The Jesus Dynasty –which is on sale right now in paperback for $14. If…
