Earliest Christians IV: Conflicts in John's Community

Season 3 Episode 12 Published 4 years, 8 months ago
Description

I finish my discussion of Revelation, cheekily asking if the book implies that only gays will go to heaven. The Greek East only grudgingly accepted the book. The book sulked in the shadows of Christianity until the 19th century, incomprehensible and unwanted. British Protestants re-interpreted the book as the veriest key to the whole Bible. That obsession took root in North America.
I also peruse the amusing Acts of John, and the intriguing three letters attributed to John.
