Summary:
"
How
Jesus
's divinity
became
dogma in the first few centuries of the early church. The claim at the heart of the Christian faith is that
Jesus
of Nazareth was, and is,
God
. But this is not what the original disciples believed during Jesus’s lifetime -- and it is not what
Jesus
claimed about himself. An idea that shaped Christianity, and of the evolution of a belief that looked very different in the fourth century than it did in the first. Ehrman reveals
how
an apocalyptic prophet from the backwaters of rural
Galilee
crucified for crimes against the state came to be thought of as equal with the one
God
Almighty, Creator of all things. But
how
did he move from being a
Jewish
prophet to being
God
? Ehrman sketches
Jesus
's transformation from a human prophet to the Son of
God
exalted to divine status at his resurrection. Only when some of
Jesus
's followers had visions of him after his death -- alive again -- did anyone come to think that he, the prophet from
Galilee
, had become
God
. And what they meant by that was not at all what people mean today"--Provided by publisher.
