Key Notes
prediction
America will need to move from secular global Pax Americana to a national, community-centered Christian identity that Jiang calls an American Holy Empire.
diagnosis
Jiang interprets Disraeli as arguing that Christianity is founded by Jews and that medieval Christian hatred forgot its own Jewish origins.
model
Christianity and Islam are described as paths by which many Jews remained connected to Jewish messianic hopes while adapting to Roman or Arabian worlds.
diagnosis
Constantine makes Christianity official and needs one orthodoxy because a franchise-like Christianity with competing churches cannot stabilize imperial religion.
diagnosis
Christianity is framed as unusually question-heavy because it joins exclusive salvation, missionary pressure, divine sonship, sacrifice for sin, second coming, and miracle as its explanatory stopgap.
diagnosis
Jiang says Christianity as later doctrine is a Roman invention that excuses Rome and shifts blame to Jews.
chronology
The next lecture will explain how the Catholic Church was created, continuing the argument that church Christianity diverges from Jesus himself.
