Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Walter Dixon's flawless delivery brings Ehrman’s academic insights to life, making dense historical content feel like an engaging narrative. His pacing is impeccable, ensuring that even lengthy sections on early church councils remain captivating. The audiobook stands out with its balanced approach—highlighting both the theological and political motivations behind Jesus’ divine designation while maintaining a respectful tone towards believers. However, some listeners might find the depth of detail overwhelming; certain technical terms could have been glossed over more to keep the flow smoother. Despite this minor critique, 'How Jesus Became God' is an essential listen for anyone curious about the origins and evolution of Christian doctrine.
