Who was the real Apostle Paul?

In this MythVision interview, renowned biblical scholar Dr. Robert M. Price presents one of the most controversial theories in modern New Testament scholarship: the possibility that the figure of Paul was developed from Simon Magus.

The discussion explores decades of research by scholars such as Robert Eisenman, Gustav Volkmar, F. C. Baur, and others who argue that many New Testament narratives may actually be theological reinterpretations of much older historical conflicts.

Topics covered include:

- The possible identity of Paul and Simon Magus.
- The conflict between Paul and the Jerusalem Church.
- The debate over the Mosaic Law.
- Marcion and the formation of the New Testament.
- The Ebionites and Jewish Christianity.
- How the Book of Acts may have reshaped historical figures.
- The connections between the Dead Sea Scrolls, Qumran, and early Christianity.
- The roles of Peter, James, and John in the theological disputes of the first century.

Whether you agree with these conclusions or not, this fascinating conversation explores one of the most debated questions in the study of Christian origins.
