The Historical Jesus Matters!
"Whether you are a believer, fundamentalist, evangelical, moderate, liberal, or a non-believer, Jesus is the most significant individual in the history of our civilization. Coming to understand who Jesus actually was - and was not - is one of the most important intellectual endeavors anyone in our society can embark upon."
Bart Ehrman
Topics Covered:

Soon after Jesus’ death, his disciples claimed that he was God 

What did they mean by that? Was he the One and Only God, Yahweh? 

Did they think he was God before he died, during his public ministry? 

Did he himself think so? Did he say so? 

In this online course, we uncover what the evidence actually tells us

Bonus #4 - Bart's Spotlight Series
Oral Traditions About Jesus

Total Value: $20

Before the Gospels were written, stories about Jesus circulated orally for decades. In this eye-opening lecture, Dr. Bart Ehrman explores how those stories were shaped by human memory—unreliable, selective, and often distorted. Drawing on modern memory research, he challenges the idea that the Gospels reflect accurate eyewitness testimony.

Instead, Ehrman shows how early Christians—most of them illiterate Gentiles—spread the message of Jesus by word of mouth, passing down stories that evolved with each telling. If you've ever wondered how the image of Jesus in the Gospels came to be, this lecture uncovers the surprising and human process behind it.
