I sat down with historian of early Christianity Matthew Larsen, Ph.D., fresh off his shoot in the Middle East tracing the life of Paul the Apostle, to dig into the evidence for Jesus, the biblical canon, and the Catholic Church.

We get into:

• How historians actually know what's true about the ancient past

• Why the "Jesus never existed" theory keeps resurfacing online

• Where Wes Huff's viral apologetics differ from real historical scholarship

• Why the idea that "Paul invented Christianity" is a 19th century German myth

• How the Apostolic Fathers reveal a strikingly Catholic early church

• What actually happened at the Council of Nicaea

• Matt’s personal journey from evangelicalism to the Catholic Church
