In Search of Christian Origins: A Conversation About the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

There is the accepted, often-repeated version of Christian history—and then there’s the real story. In this podcast, Michael interviews author Steve Paul on his book that helps people learn little-known details of the world’s largest faith and helps them differentiate between Jesus' teachings and institutional religion.  Steve's extensive research of Christian history, once simply called "The Timeline," was often cited in Michael's first two books. Meet the man behind that study and learn how he started his journey to search for meaning through the study of history. Paul's book is an excellent source for any student or lover of history or anyone who is rethinking or deconstructing evangelical or fundamentalist Christianity.  Don't miss this fascinating conversation. As Steve Paul says, to understand Christian history is to unearth the roots of our current divisive American culture—and hopefully find the tools to fix it in order to grow into a more cooperative society.
