To ring in the first new episode of 2021, Paul and Patrick are teaming up to tackle the question: Who wrote the gospels in the Christian New Testament? On the other side of this Christian biblical coin, who is Marcion of Sinope, and how did he influence the idea of creating a New Testament canon? Given how enormous this greater subject is, Patrick and Paul are working in tandem to properly deliver what it’s due.

The A.D. History Podcast explores the last two thousand years of world history in an innovative new way. Join hosts Paul K. DiCostanzo and Patrick Foote as they examine the past two millennia, beginning in 1 AD, and progressing forward ten years every episode until they reach the modern day. Within each ten-year installment, Paul and Patrick aim to share incredibly important, but often overlooked fascinating historic events and figures from around the world in prospective fashion; attempting to see history through the eyes and in the world of those who lived it. By identifying these sometimes lesser known - but in no way less significant aspects of history - the A.D. History Podcast endeavors to take these many disparate threads and weave a fuller, richer tapestry of true world history from 1AD to HD.
