Interview with Paul George on Christian Origins

Check out Freethinker Podcast host Edouard Tahmizian's 45-minute interview with Perth historian and former Messianic Christian fundamentalist Paul George as they canvass George's views on the origins of Christianity after 70 CE and common misconceptions about it, how the empty tomb narrative originated in the story of Joseph of Arimathea, and why there's been a surge of recent interest among biblical scholars like N. T. Wright, John Dominic Crossan, and Robyn Faith Walsh in the historical Paul. The discussion offers a unique perspective on these issues that raises all sorts of interesting side issues in New Testament studies, so tune in to come to the scholarship behind these questions at a somewhat different angle!
