Did Jesus Invent Modern Morality? Exploring Ancient Ethics
About this episode
Dr. Bart Ehrman discusses the ethical theories present during Jesus' time and their relevance to modern morality.
The difference between right and wrong and how to live a good life has been a matter of debate for millennia. In the ancient world, different schools of philosophers subscribed to different theories - but were these discussions something that Jesus would have been aware of? Today, Dr. Bart Ehrman joins me to discuss ethics in Jesus' time.
