How Jesus Became God

Author: Bart Ehrman
Stars: 2
Review by: Mandy Apgar


Not nearly as hostile as the last book of his I read but still not very focused. His point was to show how a Jewish prophet, who never really claimed during his time that he was the son of a God much, came to be identified as so. A lot of guesswork is involved instead of actual analysis or research, but at least he does it without the attitude and rudeness of prior times - which is why I gave the author another try. Figured someone that insane sounding could only be so for one book and get away with it, here he is just dully academic.
