And to be able to do so in a way that isn't judgmental ("oh, how stupid they were to believe that!") is an especial privilege that you all afford us by being a wonderful community that enjoys talking and thinking about these things. <3

2016-05-31 04:05:54 +0000 UTCJames has just started writing the Gracchi Brothers episodes and I haven't seen them yet, but I HAVE seen the First Opium War episodes (including some of the art) and I'm super stoked for those.

2016-05-31 04:05:00 +0000 UTCIt's not really a Paul-focused series - it was a series on early Christianity as it affected the Roman Empire. So detailed discussion of Paul's life would have been a bit of a wander here, given the intended focus. But I do hope we provided some other good clarifications about Paul in that episode!

2016-05-30 16:26:28 +0000 UTCThanks team! This was a great series even if I thought it would be longer. The next two should be great as well. The Gracchi Brothers in particular should be awesoem

2016-05-30 02:58:26 +0000 UTCGlad you were able to stoke a productive dialogue on the nature of religion. I definitely agree, no matter what you believe or how fervently you believe it, religion offers a crucial lens to view history, since it helps to offer us perspective on the thought processes of the relevant actors.

2016-05-29 17:14:42 +0000 UTCWish there was more detail on Paul's interest in converting the Jews. He diverted himself from what was becoming a successful church among the gentiles to go back and preach in Jerusalem. Despite constantly getting a bad response from the Jews, he always preached first in the Synagogues.

2016-05-28 22:42:39 +0000 UTCYou mentioned you would cover other religions. I am curious if you will be covering the Polytheistic religions of Europe for if you do more series on Ancient Rome, Ancient Greece, Medieval Lithuania, the Vikings and so on. Less focused on the Mythology, and more focused on the actual religion(too often when speaking of polytheistic religions it seems that people focus only on the mythology and not the actual religious customs that played a role in people's lives.)
