Youtube Description:
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?

What is Christianity?Christianity is a global religion centered on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, who followers believe is the Son of God. It's a monotheistic faith, meaning Christians believe in one God who exists in three co-equal persons: God the Father, God
the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit. Christianity is based on the Bible, with the Old Testament and New Testament serving as sacred texts.
Who is Bart Ehrman?Bart Ehrman (born 1955) is an American New Testament scholar focusing on textual criticism of New Testament, historical Jesus, and development of early Christianity. Ehrman has written and edited 30 books, including three college textbooks. He has
also authored six New York Times bestsellers. He is currently the James A. Gray Distinguished Professor of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Where is Rome?Rome is the capital city of Italy and a special comune (named Comune di Roma Capitale). Rome also serves as the capital of the Lazio region. With 2,872,800 residents in 1,285 km2 (496.1 sq mi), it is also the country's most populated comune. It is
the fourth-most populous city in the European Union by population within city limits. It is the centre of the Metropolitan City of Rome, which has a population of 4.3 million residents. Rome is located in the central-western portion of the Italian Peninsula, within Lazio (Latium), along the shores of the Tiber. The Vatican City is an independent country inside the city boundaries of Rome, the only existing example of a country within a city: for this reason Rome has been often defined as capital of two states. Rome's history spans 28 centuries. While Roman mythology dates the founding of Rome at around 753 BC, the site has been inhabited for much longer, making it one of the oldest continuously occupied sites in Europe.
