Session 11 How Jesus Became Christian - by Barrie Wilson
Other Traditions - The Coptic Church - Guest Speaker - Mr. Kamal Botros
"What Christianity achieved in the post-Constantine fourth-century era represented the marketing victory of all times. It is especially ironic that a movement that started off as a radical challenge to the Pax Romana succeeded in becoming the official religion of the Roman Empire. ... But the victory came at a tremendous price. Simply put, the teachings of Jesus himself were smothered by the religion of Paul." ... p255
