"Did Jesus Believe He Was Divine?" A Historical Dialogue with Michael Licona and Dale Martin

(posted 2018)

The following video is a great dialogue between Licona and Martin on the historical Jesus. Licona attempts to argue that, historically speaking, it was more likely than not that Jesus had a self-conscious belief in His own Divinity (in some sense). Martin, a self-professed Christian, on the other hand takes a more skeptical view of the historical evidence. Technically, this is a dialogue, but if it were a debate, I think Licona clearly won since he presented the better arguments. Whereas Martin had to depend too much on a priori assumptions that liberal scholars take for granted without often justifying their use or their use in a particular instance. I especially appreciated Licona's opening statement.
