What if the traditional story of the Apostle Paul is completely wrong?
In this fascinating MythVision interview, researcher Jacob presents one of the most controversial reconstructions of early Christianity ever proposed.
Drawing from the writings of Josephus, 1 Clement, Jerome, Epiphanius, Papias, Pseudo-Clementine Recognitions, and numerous early Christian sources, Jacob argues that the canonical letters of Paul were not written in the 40s–60s CE—but decades later, after the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple.
The discussion explores:
Were Paul's letters actually written in the 90s CE?
Is the Book of Acts historical fiction?
Did later editors create the traditional image of Paul?
Was "Paul" actually based on multiple historical figures?
Why do scholars rely on hypothetical reconstructions?
What does internal evidence really reveal?
Could early Christianity's timeline be fundamentally misunderstood?
Whether you agree or disagree, this conversation challenges some of the strongest assumptions in New Testament scholarship.
