Classicist Argues Ancient Greek Pharmacology and Ritual Shaped Early Christian Practices In a long-form interview with Polarity, Dr. Ammon Hillman, a classicist specialized in ancient Greek medical literature, contends that key religious concepts including “Christing” originated in pharmacological and ritual contexts rather than exclusively theological ones. He links serpent veneration, venom-based rites, and ecstatic practices to Greek textual traditions and offers controversial interpretations of early Christian sources, while also recounting personal experiences he characterizes as demonic and predictive.

Ammon Hillman argues core Christian concepts like 'Christing' arose from Greek pharmacology, serpent veneration, venom rites and ecstatic ritual—offering controversial readings of early sources and personal demonic claims. #EarlyChurch #AncientMed #Classics

Rob McConnell Interviews - BRIAN GRIFFITH - Correcting Jesus - 2000 Years of Changing the Story In this thought-provoking edition of Rob McConnell Interviews, Rob welcomes Brian Griffith, historian and author of Correcting Jesus, a bold and scholarly exploration of how cultural forces, political agendas, and early church editors may have reshaped the message of Jesus over time. Griffith examines the contrast between the historical figure and the later doctrinal constructions built around him, inviting listeners to consider how teachings on compassion, justice, and human dignity evolved—and in some cases, diverged—from their original context. Through a balanced and meticulously researched discussion, he challenges long-held assumptions while encouraging open-minded inquiry into the roots of Christianity. This compelling conversation offers fresh insight into faith, history, and the enduring power of interpretation.
