In the early first century, a small group of illiterate peasants from the backwaters of the Roman Empire proclaimed that an executed enemy of the state was God's messiah. Less than 400 years later theirs was the official religion of Rome with some thirty million followers. How did this happen? Through meticulous research and luminous prose, Bart Ehrman reveals why people took heed of accounts of Jesus's miracles amidst a plethora of such tales in the ancient world and examines what it was about the Christian message that converts found so compelling.
