This Channel contains a growing archive of interviews, lectures, and related videos from my forty years exploring the academic study of the origins of Christianity and ancient Judaism. Some of the videos are older than others and the emphasis is on CONTENT not slick video quality--although I will be posting newer HD productions as well. This material is based upon our surviving historical sources, particularly ancient texts and the material evidence of archaeology. Major topics of my own focus have been the historical Jesus, John the Baptizer, James the brother of Jesus, the apostle Paul, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of Jesus. Questions of focus are: Can the original message of Jesus be recovered? How did Paul differ in his gospel message from that of Jesus? How did a new religion known as "Christianity" emerge from its late 2nd Temple Jewish origins. What have we learned from the Dead Sea Scrolls and other late 2nd Temple Jewish sources?

This wonderful interview with Robert Eisenman, famous Dead Sea Scrolls scholar whose views are out of the mainstream, captures the man, his life, and his ideas. He is relaxed, reminisces, and lays out his basic theory about Christian Origins, Paul, James, and Jesus. https://youtu.be/9NlteRvg2_k

Just hit 200K views! Everyone says people won’t listen to more than 15 minutes. Guess it depends on the topic. And this was a very informal class I taught.
