Video Description (from Youtube)

Dr. Richard Carrier surveys the literary evidence that Acts is not an attempt at recording what actually happened at the origin of Christianity, but is a mostly fabricated story invented as internal propaganda. He also surveys the clues that remain indicating the original story Acts reinvents did not have a real historical Jesus behind it.
