Prof. Helen Bond is a Professor of Christian Origins, and the Head of the School of Divinity at Edinburgh University. In this episode of The Know Show Podcast Helen discusses her research that looks at understanding the aspects of early Christianity. She delves into the social, cultural and religious context within which Christianity emerged, highlighting how ancient texts on Christianity are far from neutral, likening it to the type of spin we see in society today. She draws on the work of the Jewish historian Flavius Josephus to give us an insight into the historical Jesus and the early Christian movement.
