and how jesus rises. he's historically described as speaking to very large crowds of supporters. but then you describe him and his followers as a cult, the cult of jesus, he was one of lots of miracle working preachers. and at the time of his death his following was quite small. >> yes, at the time of his death he had about 100 followers. he was competing against lots of mess messiahs, a small band of followers that he went round with who exorcized demons, et cetera. he had a lot of competition. but none of them had paul, and i think it was paul actually who made this small jewish cult into what eventually would become a world religion, rather than jesus's wonderful teaching. >> talking about managing christianity becoming a world religion, your last chapter is called, and paul created christ. >> absolutely. paul made of judaism, adapted to a tribe of people and it had particular rules that you had to obey, what paul said was, this is not just for the jews, jesus when he died was only addressing jews but

jesus turned to him and told him to touch his wounds.. yet they're also the test of faith. that's why on the body of the risen christ, the wounds never pass away. they remain. for those wounds are the enduring sign of god's love for us. they're essential for believing in god. not for believing that god exists, but for believing that god is love, mercy and faithfulness. st. peter quoting isaiah writes to christians, by his wounds, you have been healed. john xxiii and john paul ii were not afraid to look upon the wounds of jesus, to touch his torn hands and his pierced side. they were not ashamed at the flesh of christ. they were not scandalized by him, by his cross. they did not despise the flesh of their brother, because they saw jesus in every person who suffers and struggles. these were two men of courage, filled with the panacea of the holy spirit. and they bore witness before the church and the world to god's goodness and mercy. they were priests, bishops and popes of the 20th century. they lived through the tragic events of that cen

they thought somebody had stolen jesus is body -- jesus body. and slowly, the apostles began to encounter the risen jesus, back to life. >> there we have it. >> that is it. >> and for people who go and read the gospels, they are slightly different. marks with the empty tomb. and then if you go into john, there is a more formalized -- better greek, the whole thing. more like a cathedral. then you will get sightings and appearances. so when people read this, you say, there are differences in these gospels, but that should not be of a great bother. because they were written by different people at different times. so we want to know what you are going to preach on today. maybe we will talk about that. i should give him some time to think about that. >> [ laughter ] >> we will be right back. >>> back with bruce o'neill. a blessed easter to you. one of the things we love about doing television here is that some of the people in the control booth and the crew asks us questions. the question here is, in church she grew up and said, something happens to
