About this episode
Dr. J discusses Bart Ehrman's argument regarding the belief of the first Christians about Jesus becoming the Son of God at his resurrection.
Bart Ehrman argues that the first Christians believe Jesus *became* the Son of God at his (alleged) resurrection. Does this view qualify as Adoptionism and does it accurately reflect the beliefs of the first Christians? Dr. J clarifies this complex historical issue.
