This issue is focused on "The God Question"

Includes review of Barrie Wilson's book, "Jesus the Christian" which deals with the fact that the followers of Jesus had no intention of starting a religion. They were Jews. His book focuses on the pivotal role of Paul and the Book of Acts, showing that a revisionist "false history" arose. Peter and James confronted Paul. Galatians 2:11.

Paul admits never receiving any teaching directly from any of those who knew Jesus. Galatians 1:11-12. Pure "revelation" of his own. Gal. 2:6. An honest admission. Paul actually says almost nothing about Jesus--he refers only to the institution of the eucharist, and reference to those who saw the resurrected Christ (which may be a later forgery). The Gospels themselves were written considerably later than the Pauline epistles.

Concludes that the vilification of the Jews became central to the process of turning the Jewish Jesus into the Gentile Christ. Even the names were changed -- Jeshua the son of Jehoseph and Miriam were Latinized.
