Dr. Ehrman stresses Paul's concept of bodily resurrection rather than just the resurrection of the soul. I received a number of comments on my recent posts about whether Jesus was Yahweh (Hebrew: YHWH) in traditional Christian thinking/theology. And a number of people have wanted further explanation of the name. In particular: how does it relate to "Jehovah"? In fact, where does the name "Jehovah" come from? And is it in the New Testament?
Dr. Ehrman might be "energized" if the mythicists were proven right, but his own rigorous investigation tells him that Jesus really existed. Bart criticizes scientists who claim to have found the year of Jesus' crucifixion, pointing out they have no appreciation of the symbolism in Matthew.
Bart shares his Thanksgiving message that is personal and reflective.
Dr. Ehrman looks at the rewards and demands of teaching at a place like UNC-Chapel Hill. Through descriptions of two honors theses, Bart shows the type of sophisticated research undergraduates sometimes undertake.

A Christian NDE and the Problem with Being Filthy Rich The Acts of Thomas has a vivid story that illustrates some early Christian attitudes toward charity. Another Historical Scholar's Understanding of the Resurrection Bart presents views of Gerd Lüdemann that emphasize Peter's vision as the origin of the story of the resurrection.
