History is a funny thing. Who writes it? Who determines that it is true? We like to think history is objective and true. That the history that has been discarded, forgotten, or is unknown is false. But as the saying goes, history is written by the victors. 

I’m not a historian. I don’t know enough to really go in depth here. So I’m just going to offer some tidbits to make us think about possible alternative history. I point out some pivotal moments in history that played a key role in the development of Christianity and our theology today. 

Hopefully these will help you understand how they contributed to my spiritual journey and bless you as well.
