For nearly two thousand years, we've been told that Christianity began around 30 AD - when the disciples of the backwoods preacher "Jesus of Nazareth" came to believe he had risen from the dead. But now, BORN IN THE SECOND CENTURY exposes this tale as a myth. Host Chris Palmero - an adherent of the Catholic Church - proves that Christianity began almost one hundred years after the imagined death of Jesus, through a close reading of the New Testament and books left out of the Bible.

You are a beast. I am only one episode into the Barnabas series and I am thoroughly entertained. Fantastic work here.

Challenging and Informative

Very educational. Learning much about the myth of Christianity.

An in depth analysis of Christianity even a layperson can appreciate

Born catholic and raised rather loosely in the faith, my understanding of Christianity is primitive- Jesus was born, died on the cross, rose from the dead, yada, yada, yada. Chris’s easy conversational style draws me in to a compelling history of Christianity is never had interest in before, like the World Religions class you never took in college but could have really appreciated. I look forward to other series from this author.
