Key Notes
Jiang says Paul turns church gathering into ritual obedience rather than discussion of Jesus.
The Eucharist is interpreted as a ritual that negates individual divine sparks by making believers possessed parts of Jesus.
A student asks whether consuming Jesus abuses him; Jiang answers by emphasizing mastery and obedience rather than exploitation of Jesus.
The Eucharist is presented as a ritual where priests channel Jesus into bread and wine, a practice Jiang says later Protestants will reject as superstitious.

Relevant Lectures And Readings
Jesus arrives as a poor prophet of the inner spark; Paul turns that spark into belief, obedience, ritual, hierarchy, and a machine that can outlive Rome.
