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
7. Galatians Late and Spurious. Part 1.
The mysterious Letter to the Galatians has long baffled the Bible experts, with its image of a defiant Paul raging against Peter and the other apostles. Paul somehow insists that his authority is superior to theirs, even though they supposedly walked with the historical Jesus. Strange as this letter may seem to the theologians, BORN IN THE SECOND CENTURY is undaunted. Host Chris Palmero elegantly explains the origin of the spurious Letter to the Galatians in its proper second century context.
Anyone who listens to this episode can learn about the real reason why Galatians was written, about how Paul's letters are the product of many different writers, about the lost book that contained the true story of Paul's adventures, and most importantly: that the religion of Paul was not originally part of Christianity.
Opening reading: The modern religion QAnon is believed to have started in October of 2017. But a cryptic post from three months earlier throws the true beginning of QAnon into doubt, and shows us why the "day one origins" of any religion are impossible to discover.
