After Jesus Before Christianity

In "After Jesus, Before Christianity," a team of scholars from the Westar Institute delves into the early history of the Jesus movement, challenging conventional narratives about the development of Christianity over its first two centuries. Drawing from recent archaeological and textual discoveries, they reveal that multiple movements existed before Christianity was formally named in the third century, highlighting the rich diversity in beliefs and practices, including views on gender and morality. This thought-provoking work invites listeners to reconsider the complex origins of a faith that has endured for over two millennia.
