Crisis in Perception

Creating Christ: How Roman Emperors Invented Christianity — Empire as Narrative Control


Listen Later

Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world — one book at a time.

This episode explores Creating Christ: How Roman Emperors Invented Christianity by James S. Valliant and C. W. Fahy as a systems-level analysis of how imperial structures may shape belief, identity, and long-term social order.

By focusing on institutional design rather than individual motives, the episode examines how systems persist — even when their narratives are debated or contested.
