How Jesus Became God

Bart Ehrman's books at this point tend to be a bit repetitive (e.g., gospels aren't all the same) raised in different ways. His latest has a good chunk of new material though the last hundred pages covers familiar ground. It also ended with a bit of a trudge with the convoluted ("paradoxical") arguments only the true believers would seem to care about. The different views of the divine in Roman, Jewish and early Christian thought were interesting. Good use of modern day visions to compare to belief in visions of the raised Jesus.
