How God Became Jesus by Michael Bird
The Real Origins of Belief in Jesus' Divine Nature—A Response to Bart D. Ehrman
A scholarly response to skeptical accounts of the origins of Christian belief in Jesus’ divinity, contending that this belief emerged rapidly within a Jewish monotheistic framework rather than through gradual mythologizing. Drawing on New Testament studies, ancient history, and theology, it examines early worship practices, resurrection testimony, and the reliability of Gospel traditions to argue for an early high Christology, presenting coordinated essays that challenge alternative reconstructions and defend the inclusion of Jesus within the divine identity from the movement’s earliest days.
