On Ehrman changing his mind. IIUC Ehrman started working on How Jesus became God a number of years ago. I.E. he wrote Did Jesus Exist after he had already began working on How Jesus became God . If so references in How Jesus became God to Ehrman having changed his mind while researching this book p...

Today, Bill O’Reilly did a promotion of his movie " Killing Jesus " on FOX. He claims that it is not a religious movie but a historical movie. That everything in his movie actually happened. Really, O’Reilly? A sneak preview of the movie was played which contain the famous scene; Christ an...

@GakuseiDon, I have provided on other posts plenty of examples where Carrier gets his sources wrong. He has been called on them over and over again by real ancient history scholars yet he keeps plugging along as if his bogus claims have never been debunked. Why? Because he knows his niche audience (...

A book review by Carrier Of Bart Ehrman's How Jesus Became God: The Exaltation of a Jewish Preacher from Galilee ... has no place on Christian Texts and History. Just saying. Your opinion: - does not matter - and is clearly wrong But... thanks for sharing... Well then, let me jump into the fray tha...

I seem to recall that no details on the exact style of crucifixion by the Romans are found in any ancient writings. Crucifixion could have been a "T", "X" or "I" or all three but no one knows for sure. I vaguely remember in; " Killing Jesus " by O' Reilly, tha...
