New York Times bestselling author and Bible expert Bart Ehrman reveals how Jesus's divinity became dogma in the first few centuries of the early church.

The claim at the heart of the Christian faith is that Jesus of Nazareth was, and is, God. But this is not what the original disciples believed during Jesus's lifetime--and it is not what Jesus claimed about himself. How Jesus Became God tells the story of an idea that shaped Christianity, and of the evolution of a belief that looked very different in the fourth century than it did in the first.

A master explainer of Christian history, texts, and traditions, Ehrman reveals 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. But how did he move from being a Jewish prophet to being God? In a book that took eight years to research and write, 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.

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.

--Michael Coogan, Harvard Divinity School lecturer and editor of The New Oxford Annotated Bible

Great Soft Duck Toy
I've bought several of these over the years. My Australian Shepherds love them and often play with the duck on their own. Eventually one surcomes to an occasional tug-a-war. My dogs are moderate tuggers.

It's his favorite toy
This duck is his favorite toy. He takes his "duck baby" up to bed with him every night. It's held up to his love well. This is his second duck as the one we received as a gift 2 years ago is still alive and well just very dirty and in need of a stand in when his time comes. Over all Rico is quite happy with Duck and would give 5 barks.

Sturdy rope

Very sturdy rope. My dog is a heavy chewer and this rope is perfect for her.

This is the one for my dog, (and maybe yours)
Size: Medium (23.60")
Great dog toy! Got the larger size— less accidental hand bites that way. It’s our second one, but the pup is a strong chewer so no disappointments with the product at all. Many breeds would not do what mine did to the rope. I love that it’s natural cotton. The longer version that I ordered comes with 3 knots, including one near each end— great— and one in the middle, which I don’t like or need. It’s a tad difficult to untie the central knot, but it’s possible with a screw driver or awl, and then it’s a perfect toy.
