I will be in Denver for the annual Society of Biblical Literature Meeting, starting a week before Thanksgiving. Anyone out that way interested in a blog dinner, Thursday November 17? Possibly a drink t in advance. Somewhere near the Convention Center.
Are you in the vicinity? Interested? If we can get 3-4 (and no more than 7) people together, I’d be happy to do it.
No obligations other than:
-
- Being a blog member
- Showing up
- Talking
- Paying for whatever you ingest. Whatever you exgest is free.
If you’re interested, do NOT reply here as a comment. Send me an email at [email protected].
Hope it happens!

Hello Dr Ehrman,
I am near the end of reading “How Jesus Became God” and was struck by what is probably a silly question, but here goes:
If the Word became flesh, did anyone argue that God the Father lost the ability to speak?
The same could be asked about Wisdom. Did the Father become stupid when Wisdom became flesh?
Inquiring heretical minds want to know.
Ha! Now *that’s* an interesting question! So far as I know, the answer is no, since, e.g., in the Gospels we hear a voice fromo heaven at the baptism.
