Commodus on the Couch & The All-In-One Gospel: The Diatessaron | 171AD-180AD F/ Kristen E Strubberg

For this episode of the A.D. History Podcast, Paul and Patrick are joined by TGNR’s Founder and Editor-in-Chief Kristen E. Strubberg. Together they discuss the reality of Emperor Commodus' mental health; specifically against his popular cultural portrayal. Yes, we are looking at you, Ridley Scott. Additionally, Patrick in particular explores a question from our recent “Who Wrote the Gospels?” episode: why isn’t there only a single gospel narrative in the New Testament? As opposed to the four that are now the canonical norm? It's a valid question, and one Tatian in this decade proffered a solution for, today known as the Diatessaron. So, what did the single gospel look like? Find out in this newest episode! **Donate to the A.D. History Podcast on Patreon!: https://patreon.com/adhistorypodcast
