Just in case the Audio from yesterday's AM-EU workshop does not get posted before next week´s workshop takes place (on Sunday, 4th September), here a reminder that we are on page 52 of the book, and will continue with this paragraph (the last one on the page):

It is fairly easy to suggest that Paul adopted the idea of dying and resurrecting gods of the pagans 191, but I don´t think it is quite that simple. Wells proposes, based on Frazer, that when the dying and resurrecting agriculture gods were transferred to city life, the objects of their revivification became human beings themselves and the resurrection of the god was thought to ensure that of his devotees. That is, those who associated with a particular god, and supported that deity by devotion, would also achieve a new life after the death of the body. All around the Empire there were public and private cults focused around such promises. It was essentially an expansion of the patronage 192 system into cosmology.

I greatly appreciate you guys!

That was my first workshop, and I will definitely see you guys next weekend. I have to troubleshoot my microphone or possibly buy a headset because even when I unmuted myself, my audio still wasn’t going through.

And regarding the method and pace these workshops take, I will say you’re doing a great job @logos5x5. @T.C. was right on the money when he referenced not wanting to move along too quickly without gathering the gems as one moves along the pavement, because I learned a great deal in just that hour or so.
