Can the New Testament Possibly Be True?

Misquoting Jesus with Bart Ehrman

CHAPTER

Did Jesus Really Ascend to Heaven?

A historian would not ask, you know, did he really become a god? A historian would never ask that about that text. Another again, Mesopotamian example is for me, the deification of Naram Sin. We have accounts like that in Greek literature to Apollonia's of Tiana and we have reports of him ascending to heaven at the end of his life. But there's no historian that's going to go around asking, now, how do I verify that really happened? That's not a historical question. You don't ask it as a historical question."
