How Jesus Became God

How Jesus Became God: The Exaltation of a Jewish Preacher from Galilee by Bart D. Ehrman
My rating: 5of 5 stars

"How Jesus Became God" is another brilliantly researched, organized, written and referenced book from Dr. Ehrman. Dr. Ehrman has a real talent for teaching, and for presenting voluminous and complicated historical material in a form accessible to the reader. This book is extra special to me because my daughter met Dr. Ehrman (view his address here) and got me a signed copy! The book is an excellent detailed overview of the historical evidence and theory which accompany the transformation of Jesus from the Jewish apocalyptic prophet who walked and taught in first century Palestine and was executed as a state criminal, to the God-man who the Christian church has worshiped for over two millennia. I'm looking forward to reading more of Dr. Ehrman's excellent work.
