How Greek Were Paul's Core Ideas?
James Tabor
@jamestaborvideosAbout
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?
Video Description
This is an informal lecture I gave in the monthly Zoom meeting I hold with students in my "Quest for the Historical Paul" course. The course is on-line, you work at your own pace, and as with all of my on-line courses, I meet with the students via Zoom to do more in-depth topical study and extensive time for Q&A and discussion.
