A conversation with Bart D. Ehrman, renowned religious scholar and author of the book The Triumph of Christianity: How a Forbidden Religion Swept the World. We learn how Christianity spread throughout the Western world, and how the Roman Empire went from being a polytheistic pagan society, to a Christian society that persecuted non-Christians.
Guest: Bart D. Ehrman is a Distinguished Professor of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and author of several books including Misquoting Jesus, How Jesus Became God, and his latest, The Triumph of Christianity: How a Forbidden Religion Swept the World.
