This discussion begins a four-month series on a book, After Jesus Before Christianity: A Historical Exploration of the First Two Centuries of Jesus Movements, authored by the Westar Institutes Christianity Seminar and edited by Erin Vearncombe, Brandon Scott, and Hal Taussig. This four-part series begins with an overview framing six new discoveries of the past ten years concerning these first two centuries. These new discoveries are:
- Resistance to the Roman Empire (Luke 2:1-20)
- Practicing Gender Bending (Acts of Paul and Thecla: 5:1-7:2 — from A New New Testament)
- Living in Chosen Families (Acts of Paul and Thecla 29: 1-3; 40:1-43:3 — from A New New Testament)
- Claiming to belong to Israel (Philipians 3:4-7)
- Diverse Organizational Structures (Galatians 2:1-14)
- Persisting Oral Traditions (Matthew 5)
