About the event

From Many Christianities to One Church: The Rise of Orthodoxy
In the first centuries after Jesus, many Christian movements flourished, each with their own scriptures, beliefs, and practices. Over time, the “proto-Orthodox” Christians succeeded in defining their teachings as correct and establishing authority, while rival groups were suppressed or forgotten.

In this lecture, John Hamer of Toronto Centre Place examines the struggle to define authentic Christian belief, from Jewish Christians who upheld the Mosaic Law to Gnostic Christians who rejected the Hebrew Bible altogether.

Join the livestream to participate in the discussion and to ask questions of our lecturer during the Q&A.

This lecture is part of our series exploring Christianity and the Bible from an academic perspective through history, mythology, archaeology, theology, and biblical studies.
