In my last post I bemoaned a perceived movement in charistianity from it's 'authentic' roots, the mission that it origionaly set out on. In this post I want to complain about the changes in christianity after Jesus.
My own personal beliefs very strongly side with the Jesus Crossan extracts from his studies. Egalitarianism, fighting an occupation, and compassion to the marginalized sounds fantastic. The Christianity after Jesus, starting with Paul, just seems so irrelevant to me compared Jesus' original ideas. Pauline Christianity seems even distasteful when Crossan seems to describe the Pauline movement as a movement more about the leadership of Christianity more than anything rather more important like radical egalitarianism.
