How Jesus Became God
The Exaltation of a Jewish Preacher from Galilee
Book • 2014
In this book, Bart Ehrman explores the historical developments that led to the affirmation at the heart of Christianity: Jesus was, and is, God. Ehrman reveals how Jesus’s divinity became dogma in the first few centuries of the early church.
The book sketches Jesus’s transformation from a human prophet to the Son of God exalted to divine status at his resurrection, highlighting the visions of Jesus’s followers after his death as a crucial factor in this transformation.
Ehrman’s work is based on eight years of research and is written for both secular historians of religion and believers alike.
