395: "I Am He": The Self-Designation of God, Christ, and Several Other Human Beings in Judaism and Early Christianity
It is often incorrectly assumed that the phrase "I am [he]" in Scripture is a claim to be Yahweh, the God of Israel.

This topic was presented at the 2025 Unitarian Christian Alliance UK conference (July 2025).
