Video Description (from Youtube)

Professor Bart D. Ehrman joined The Drew Marshall Show as a call in guest on March 31st, 2018. The broadcast was recorded from the studio of CJYE based in Oakville, Ontario Canada. The interview immediately begins with highlights from Bart's book "The Triumph of Christianity: How A Forbidden Religion Swept the World." They first discuss how atheist [and mythicist] are not pleased with Bart's position on Jesus. Drew continues in disbelief about how the book suggests that Christianity took over the Roman Empire, which Bart explains touching on the separation of church and state. Drew further asked how Christianity could consume the masses when there were so many inconsistencies negating its legitimacy? Then he questioned, should we stop and give credence to Christianity because it was a galvanizing force that changed the world? Drew closes asking what benefits did the world gain from Christianity?
