Aslan is such a dishonest broker that it would be difficult to take a recommendation seriously even if without so many anti-endorsements from historians:
> "Aslan's grandiose claims and his limited credentials in history is glaring on almost every page."
> "His book is filled with mistakes and inaccuracies... about Roman history, about the New Testament, about the history of early Christianity." [...] Ehrman comments that the book is well-written [as a work from a professor of creative writing], but "I don't think it's trustworthy as a historical account."
- alsetmusic 2y ago"How Jesus Became God," is an Ehrman work, so this feedback is useful. I'll still check background on the prior recommendation before making up my mind whether I think it's worth checking out.
