 Dr. Ehrman stresses Paul's concept of bodily resurrection rather than just the resurrection of the soul.   I received a number of comments on my recent posts about whether Jesus was Yahweh (Hebrew: YHWH) in traditional Christian thinking/theology.  And a number of people have wanted further explanation of the name.  In particular: how does it relate to "Jehovah"?  In fact, where does the name "Jehovah" come from?   And is it in the New Testament?

YHWH and Jehovah:  Same?  Different?  Where's Jehovah Come From?

Dr. Ehrman might be "energized" if the mythicists were proven right, but his own rigorous investigation tells him that Jesus really existed. Bart criticizes scientists who claim to have found the year of Jesus' crucifixion, pointing out they have no appreciation of the symbolism in Matthew.
