  • A great series!

    I found this very informative, and enjoyable. In particular I appreciated the descriptions of historical evidence, or lack thereof, and the wider contexts considered. Highly recommended.

  • Interesting yet so bad.

    This guy knows a lot about the subject and it’s interesting. Unfortunately, he doesn’t know how to interact with his students without being annoying and rude and demeaning. I’m checking out after putting up with 17 episodes.

  • “Faster!” “Did you even do the homework?”

    The condescending tone this professor uses to address his students makes this a hard listen. I think it’s a good historical look at Christianity, I have to take breaks bc the prof is so often disrespectful. What is it about academia that makes this an acceptable way to speak to people?

  • Disdainful of orthodox beliefs

    Typical Ivory Tower disdain toward traditional, orthodox Christian belief. The professor does not see Jesus as a real person who meant what he said about himself. The Gospel of Thomas is a joke to all real Christians, and doesn’t sound anything like Jesus. Read the four true gospels for yourself!
