A Two-Lecture Course With Dr. Bart Ehrman
The Other
Doubting Thomases
Why Did Those Closest to Jesus Doubt His Resurrection?
A historical inquiry into the doubt at the heart of the earliest Christian story, and what the Gospels themselves quietly admit about it.
The Course
Doubt at the Origin of Christian Faith
If Jesus was truly raised from the dead, why did some of his closest followers doubt it? In two focused lectures with Q&A, Dr. Bart Ehrman examines the historical, cultural, and psychological factors that shaped the disciples’ initial skepticism.
From Jewish expectations of resurrection to Gospel accounts of disbelief, this course uncovers the complexities surrounding early Christian belief in Jesus’ resurrection. It challenges common assumptions about how that belief began.
