    Paul and Jesus™: The Great Divide explores one of the most pivotal—and controversial—questions in the history of Christianity: Did Paul and Jesus teach the same religion? In this groundbreaking course, Dr. Bart D. Ehrman, a leading scholar of early Christianity, examines the stark differences—and surprising similarities—between the message of Jesus and the theology of Paul. 
Through eight thought-provoking lessons, listeners will discover how Jesus’ apocalyptic message of the coming Kingdom of God compares to Paul’s emphasis on faith in Jesus’ death and resurrection. Was Paul simply interpreting Jesus’ teachings, or did he fundamentally transform them? Why does Paul say so little about Jesus’ life? And can Christianity truly be considered the religion of Jesus—or is it more accurate to say it’s the religion about Jesus? 
This audiobook offers an engaging, scholarly look into how Christianity emerged from its Jewish roots and why the teachings of Paul became so central to the faith. Whether you're a believer, a skeptic, or simply curious about Christian origins, Paul and Jesus™: The Great Divide will deepen your understanding of the early church, the New Testament, and the profound theological divide that shaped a world religion.
