I am not interested in the supernaturalism of Christianity, but am very interested in the study of the early history of the group. I am always happy to meet others that also study the topic as well. My interest specifically is up till perhaps a generation or two after Irenaeus. But I would say I am interested in anything from the Maccabean revolt up till about 384CE when Christianity became the official religion of the Roman empire.
While I believe the supernatural element is very important, I agree with you that period of history is incredibly interesting. If you have not checked oit out yet, I would point you to The History of Rome podcast. It is fantastic.
You might also be interested in Phil Harland’s Religions of the Ancient Mediterranean (http://www.philipharland.com/). I don’t agree with all he says but I think he is very good.
Thanks for the advice. I used to subscribe to that site via RSS. But, one day when I was doing some massive cleaning… I must have deleted it. I will add it back again. I had gone minimalistic in the last few months, with the only two religion sites I was subscribing to were; http://stephanhuller.blogspot.com/ and http://vridar.wordpress.com/ I am sure there are other good ones, but over the years I have just found it hard to find consistently good blogs on christian origins. RE podcasts, I still enjoy my friend Dr. Robert M. Price’s “THE BIBLE GEEK!” http://feeds.feedburner.com/thebiblegeek
If you are referring to the History of Rome podcast, you can find it here: http://thehistoryofrome.typepad.com/ or you can find it on iTunes. As for Robert Price, I have not heard his podcast but I might check it out. The Jesus myth theory is one of my areas of focus and so that might be of interest to me. Thanks for recommending it.
Yes, The History of Rome podcast. I’ll leave Price to you. It was such a chore reading his goofy book I don’t think I can endure the same half-baked scholarship with images and sounds.

I am always happy to hear from new friends.
