Born in the Second Century
For nearly two thousand years, we've been told that Christianity began around 30 AD - when the disciples of the backwoods preacher "Jesus of Nazareth" came to believe he had risen from the dead. But now, BORN IN THE SECOND CENTURY exposes this tale as a myth. Host Chris Palmero - an adherent of the Catholic Church - proves that Christianity began almost one hundred years after the imagined death of Jesus, through a close reading of the New Testament and books left out of the Bible.
Born in the Second Century
20. Season of Reason: On the Reliability of the Gospels.
Host Chris Palmero has been listening to a lot of Christian apologetics programs lately. He is therefore now compelled to conduct a full-length parody of them.
In this satirical broadcast, Dr. E, the renowned host of the Season of Reason Christian Apologetics Show, interviews the formidable Christian apologist Dr. Walter Pupp. Dr. Pupp - who was saved by the powerful passage in Mark that says that Jesus was asleep with his head on a cushion - is a former prosecutor whose experience in the 21st century American courtroom is readily applied to tracing the origins and development of a classical Mediterranean religion.
BORN IN THE SECOND CENTURY generally likes to discuss problems with the mainstream or conventional view of Christian origins, but every now and then it's useful to highlight the apologetics and fundamentalists arguments as well. It's a fascinating world in which you can hear such things as "the gospels are reliable because they differ, and they're also reliable because they agree."
