Apostle Paul. A Polite Bribe
Description
Thirty years after the death of Christ, the future of the Christian church teetered on faulty ground. It was split into two factions, the Apostle Paul's Gentile Churches and the Judean Church lead by Jesus' own brother James. Both groups had clearly emerged with very different visions for the mission, and were headed toward a final showdown - a mutually destructive fracture that would have ended the Church in its infancy, if not for one man. This program explores how Paul's vision kept the early Christian movement together and analyzes Luke's omission of his collection for the Jerusalem Temple in the Acts. It includes excerpts from Paul's original letters and interviews with Biblical scholars.
