Did Paul REALLY Take Missionary Journeys?
π Get the Armchair Bible Scholar Emails π https://www.cjcornthwaite.com/armchai... Did Paul really take three missionary journeys across the Mediterranean? Every Bible has the maps. Every Sunday school taught the routes. But here's the problem β Paul never mentions them. In this video, I look at what Paul actually says about his travels in his own letters β and what he doesn't say. Including one place Paul explicitly says he went that never makes it into Acts. Not once. I'll show you why the missionary journey framework was probably invented in the 2nd century, why the Roman Empire's own political branding shaped the story of Paul we inherited, and what this means for everything we think we know about early Christianity. What you'll learn: Why Paul's own letters contradict the Acts narrative The one place Paul says he went that Acts erases completely How Hadrian's Panhellenion shaped the world Acts was written for Why the missionary journey maps in your Bible tell us more about 2nd century Christianity than Paul's actual travels Prof. Laura Nasrallah's article - https://www.jstor.org/stable/25610139 βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ Community - https://www.cjcornthwaite.com/community Substack - https://substack.com/@cjcornthwaite Patreon - Β Β /Β footnotefamousΒ Β π± FOLLOW FOR MORE YouTube: @cjcornthwaite Instagram: @cjcornthwaite Website: cjcornthwaite.com Email: [email protected] ποΈ FOOTNOTE FAMOUS (MY PODCAST) Conversations with the worldβs top scholars of the Bible and Christian origins. πhttps://www.footnotefamous.com/ OR Listen on your favorite streaming platform α―€ Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/4lSzQzT...
