    I like Ehrman. I think Jesus had, before the Resurrection, no clear idea of who/what he was and that what Ehrman shows is how the early church not invented but discovered the divinity of Jesus.

      He says he’s the son of god long before he’s killed if I’m not mistaken.

        Yes, but:

        • that doesn’t mean he had an idea of the Trinity and his place in it;
        • it’s probably something the Evangelist added anyway.

      I’m convinced that he believed he was the Messiah. I don’t think he considered himself divine. I think that was invented later.
