[Eng] Leading Skeptic: Jesus Shaped Our Morality (Prof. Bart Ehrman) |🎙R+F Podcas

Why do we today take it for granted that we should help the poor, the suffering, and even complete strangers? Was this obvious to the Greeks and Romans? How did Jesus's ethics differ from ancient notions of virtue, charity, and love? Where did hospitals, shelters, and nursing homes come from in Western culture? And is it possible to be moral without faith in God? In this episode of the podcast, Professor Bart Ehrman, one of the world's most renowned New Testament scholars, joins us for the second time. An agnostic atheist, in his new book, "Love Your Stranger," he paradoxically demonstrates that the modern moral consciousness of the West is a direct result of the triumph of the radical ethics of Jesus Christ. 👤 PODCAST GUEST Bart D. Ehrman is a leading scholar of the New Testament and early Christian history, and Professor Emeritus of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (Ph.D., Princeton Theological Seminary). He is the author of six New York Times bestsellers and has written and edited more than 30 books, including Misquoting Jesus, How Jesus Became God, and Heaven and Hell.
