Curiosity Never Retires - Jack Dalby on "St. Paul and Early Christianity"

For the past 13 years, Jack Dalby has lectured on the topics of Christian Origins and the Historical Jesus with OLLI programs at George Mason University, the College of William and Mary, and American University. In this episode, "St. Paul and Early Christianity", Jack talks about how Christianity’s origins remain mysterious. Historians debate what happened at the "big bang" moment 2,000 years ago when some of Jesus’s followers came to believe he had risen from the dead after his crucifixion. How did this tiny group of 1st-century Palestinian Jews start a religious movement that would one day grow to include over two billion adherents? Some of the topics for discussion will be: What are our sources for understanding Christian origins? Who was St. Paul? What was Paul’s mission to the gentiles? What do we know about the 12 Apostles of Jesus? Who was James, the Brother of the Lord? Was there one Christianity or many? Did Rome persecute Christians? What were the earliest Christian rites and prayers?
