How did the religion that was founded on the Son of Man evolve into so many churches? This podcast begins in the beginning, in Genesis and traces through history the cultural forces, the environmental factors, the economical, the technological, the societal, the political, and other influences that impacted the formation of the religion as we know it today. But, this podcast is not about theology.  It is about the forces that shaped the modern churches. I will try to stay away from principles and beliefs, and instead focus on the history. I the structure of the podcast as two pyramids stacked on each other, the bottom one wider at the base, coming to a point, and the top one inverted, with its point resting, balanced on top of the bottom pyramid, the whole structure shaped similarly to an hourglass. Where these two pyramids come together, the place where the points meet, there stands Christ. The culmination of those that came before him, and the foundation where the modern churches are built are examined in an engaging way.
