Abstract
"In a book that took eight years to research and write, leading Bible scholar Bart D. Ehrman explores how an apocalyptic prophet from the backwaters of rural Galilee crucified for crimes against the state came to be thought of as equal with the one God Almighty Creator of all things. Ehrman sketches Jesus's transformation from a human prophet to the Son of God exalted to divine status at his resurrection. Only when some of Jesus's followers had visions of him after his death—alive again—did anyone come to think that he, the prophet from Galilee, had become God. And what they meant by that was not at all what people mean today. As a historian—not a believer—Ehrman answers the questions: How did this transformation of Jesus occur? How did he move from being a Jewish prophet to being God? The dramatic shifts throughout history reveal not only why Jesus's followers began to claim he was God, but also how they came to understand this claim in so many different ways. Written for secular historians of religion and believers alike, How Jesus Became God will engage anyone interested in the historical developments that led to the affirmation at the heart of Christianity: Jesus was, and is, God." -- Publisher description.
"Per tutti i cristiani, Gesù è Dio incarnato. Oggi. I cristiani che leggeranno questo libro resteranno invece sorpresi scoprendo che Gesù, alle origini del cristianesimo, non era affatto considerato Dio. A dimostrarlo sono i vangeli stessi. E non solo. I discepoli non credevano che Gesù fosse Dio. Non lo sosteneva nemmeno lo stesso Gesù. Gesù era un semplice predicatore ebreo di umili origini che, secondo gli apostoli e tre evangelisti, Dio avrebbe esaltato a un rango divino soltanto dopo la sua morte. In seguito, anche questa tesi sarebbe stata considerata eresia. Quanto credono oggi i cristiani è stato accettato dalle Chiese cristiane soltanto dopo diversi secoli. “E Gesù diventò Dio” è un’opera documentatissima. Le tesi che presenta sono le stesse sostenute dai maggiori specialisti del settore: Ehrman, che è a sua volta uno dei più autorevoli studiosi del cristianesimo delle origini, le ha però divulgate in modo fruibile da chiunque. Perché chiunque potrebbe essere interessato a capire come andarono realmente le cose, duemila anni fa in Palestina."--Publisher description.
