One of the central tenets of many denominations of modern Christianity is that Jesus is God. The Nicene Creed describes him as "of one being with the Father"...but just how old is this idea?

If you asked Jesus' disciples if he was a human or God, would they have affirmed his divinity, or accused you of blasphemy? And if Jesus was divine, then was he considered to be God made flesh, a human who was turned into a divinity, a "super-human" with some divine features…or what?
