Listen "395: "I Am He": The Self-Designation of God, Christ, and Several Other Human Beings in Judaism and Early Christianity"
Episode Synopsis
It is often incorrectly assumed that the phrase "I am [he]" in Scripture is a claim to be Yahweh, the God of Israel. This presentation demonstrates that this phrase is a casual, self-declaration, and that it was uttered by God and by several human figures who were not claiming to be Yahweh himself. This topic was presented at the 2025 Unitarian Christian Alliance UK conference (July 2025).
