Key Notes
Pauline Christianity wins over more democratic Jesus movements because it has Roman backing and a superior organization model.
Jiang frames Paul's biography through three mysteries: why he joined poor Jewish peasants, why he reversed from persecutor to follower, and who funded his mission.
The lecture argues the Gospel account blaming Jews for Jesus' death conflicts with Jiang's view that Romans killed Jesus because he threatened their social order.

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.
