Fake or Mistake

Today in our discussion, we talked about the differences between the beliefs of Reimarus and Paulus. Reimarus was completely antagonistic against Christianity, claiming that the apostles went to great lengths to fabricate the institution of Christianity, such as how they hid Jesus’ body. Paulus, on the other hand, attempted to interpret the Bible in a different manner, explaining that the disciples potentially did not understand what was truly happening during the miracles of Jesus. Reimarus was trying to discredit Christianity while Paulus attempted to mesh both the scientific and the historical events of Jesus.
