Withanametocome Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 Apparently there are no good short video introductions to the most famous of all characters; there are a ton of academic lectures that speak for 1 hour about a single Bible verse, but those aren't very practical for the average curious guy, and of course the 'Jesus is your saviour' videos that don't help either. On the other hand, I have devoted hundreds of hours to study world religions and Jesus in particular, so I could fit mainstream scholarship in a 10 minutes compact video presenting the historical Jesus, his environment, what came to be of his history afterwards... And in fact, I have already written a script, so whoever likes drawing, or animation, and feels curious can just ask me for it: I'll hand it over and we'll see if we can take the collaboration up to a the next YouTube hit. Regards, Withanametocome

Culain Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 Maybe he wants to prove that Jesus was an Anarchist or something.

Withanametocome Posted March 19, 2014 Author Posted March 19, 2014 What is your goal with this presentation? To synthesize mainstream scholarship regarding Jesus, so that whoever is interested in the character (let's say, half of the world population) doesn't have to get a Neo-Testamentarian Degree in order to learn proper historical research and Exegesis in this respect. You might find someone to do this on the Atheism subforum Hmm that is weird, but you certainly know better than I how things work here, so I'll attempt it.
Cosmin Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 I was just kidding, sorry if that was not obvious. People on this forum don't really care about Jesus and religion, they care about truth. http://cdn.media.freedomainradio.com/feed/FDR_584_Jesus_Part_1.mp3

The podcast you quote is an example of what I said that the average listener doesn't want: <35 minutes of conjectures focused on psycho-social aspects from someone that hasn't read a word of the Gospels (for, as far as I know, Stef doesn't know Greek, and not that he should learn it: I think it is a better use of his time to do videos about circumcision and breastfeeding).
