Source: The Findings Substack
by Paul Rosenberg
“Far more than most of its adherents have understood, Christianity (the early Jesus movement to be more precise) was very much an unauthorized and rogue operation. A great deal of it’s most important work was performed by people who are completely unseen in our records, or at the most mentioned very briefly and not by name. This is an essential fact and is frequently overshadowed by stories of the apostles. To some extent this is understandable, of course; history has to exclude most actions in order to be transmissible, and in fact the writers of even the earliest accounts may not have known the names of the persons involved. So, I’m not trying to find fault in this little discourse; I’m rather trying to point out the immense contributions of these unknown and unnamed individuals, and, perhaps, what it implies.” (11/19/25)
