In this interview, Glen Scrivener talks to Alec Ryrie, Professor of the history of Christianity and the author of many books including 'Protestants: The Faith That Made the Modern World' and 'Unbelievers: An Emotional History of Doubt'. Here, Glen and Alec discuss the history of Christianity and why Jesus has proved to be such a compelling figure across twenty centuries.
RESET is a series of conversations exploring the meaning crisis. With the help of cultural analysts and biblical scholars we're going back to the beginning - to Genesis, the West's great origins story - to hear the ancient texts speaking today.
Glen Scrivener is an ordained church minister and filmmaker. In this series he asks questions about conflict, suffering, death, sex, equality, science, and what it means to be human. This is the 19th interview in the RESET series: • RESET Interviews

Prof. Ryrie is right that the only thing that explains the lasting and power of Christianity is Jesus Christ and the people who knew and followed him at the beginning. Those stories told by the early church are the essence of Catholicism. Protestant groups have helped ensure that the story of Christ reached a lot of the world but now are faced with the fact that the practice of starting your own church whenever you disagree with some minor aspect of the way the story is told has resulted in the thinking that man is capable of flourishing without a complete devotion and worship of Christ which has brought us to a pagan belief system taking hold vastly again even within parts of Christianity. I just hope that the Protest will eventually continue to evolve full circle and that most will return to a Catholicism that they have reasoned for themselves the way our good Prof. Ryrie has helped me to do.

Never thought I'd ever tell a "Proffessor " that he's full of bulldung- but he is!. He's waffling on about how good christianity is and that's why so many (conquered people) changed their beliefs + became "christians", Rubbish!, throughout recorded history we have evidence that tribes who were conquered usually considered that hey these guys must have stronger gods... and so we'll follow them.Christianity is just like every "religion" - Bulldung,grow some nuts,stand up and face the world-and be a Man.

You are in error, to say that we cannot attain perfection is error, you misconstrued the scriptures and you know not the power of the almighty God, to purify a man or woman's heart and bring them into perfection, You Christians keep talking about yourselves as these useless fallen beings, but this is natural fallen man, not man born of Christ, two different spiritual positions, two different kinds of fruit, I heard a Preacher of the Christ say, that he is filthy to the core, yet how can he be filthy to the core, if the light of the Christ is in the core of his heart, the glory of the all mighty God, to purify the heart to produce all that is good and become perfect, to become complete from mere babes to total maturity, to be born of love immaculate love define, the man or woman who loves does not sin, because there is no sin in love,

You say people are misunderstanding the scriptures but didn't quote any of then to support your opinion.

@@HearGodsWord it is written,, be perfect for your heavenly father is perfect, seek perfection, you will have the heart and mind of Christ, you will be transformed into the image of the Christ, from glory to Glory, What I do not understand is why those who preach the Christ do not believe in Perfection, when the Christ is perfect and he is the first fruit of many, this is why Christ came to bring forth son's and Daughters of God, it is the power of God unto salvation, the holy spirit is perfect light, and this perfect light lives in the Sons and Daughters of God transforming them, Most people think the forgiveness of sin is being saved from Sin, but this is not true, the forgiveness of sin is being saved from the condemnation of sin, not saved from sin because they have sinned, to be saved from Sin is to simply not Sin, and this is the power of the Holy Spirit upon those who believe, it saves them from sinning,

@@HearGodsWord what use is seeking Perfection if one cannot attain, it it has no value, that I should be almost perfect, this is the whole idea, this is why man keeps falling short because he does not have the glory of god in his heart, now he has the glory of god in his heart he can fulfil this Glory for those who are in the Christ, seeking perfection is finding it, because this is what the Christ is all about, perfect man, therefore we can all become perfect man perfect woman, there is not anything else, why then do you all remove the power of God in your life, this is the problem, it's not Perfection that's the problem, it's that you have no power of God in your life to produce it, this is what I can't understand, you make the god you preach, useless, powerless, think about it, god can't purify your heart, is it the simplest of tasks for god is it not,
