One of the main tenets of Christianity is Jesus' divinity - most denominations hold him to be fully divine (and also fully mortal, but what's a whole other conversation). History is littered with humans who claimed to be gods - think Egyptian kings, for example. Is this something that applies also to Jesus? Was he walking around, telling people that he was, in fact, god? Today, Dr. Bart Ehrman joins me to talk about the line between divine and mortal in the ancient world, and to examine Jesus' self-presentation within the gospels.
