Synopsis

Bart D. Ehrman, the New York Times bestselling author of Jesus, Interrupted and God’s Problem reveals which books in the Bible’s New Testament were not passed down by Jesus’s disciples, but were instead forged by other hands—and why this centuries-hidden scandal is far more significant than many scholars are willing to admit.

Goodreads review by Clif

The material covered isn't new to anyone familiar with critical biblical scholarship. However, Ehrman is different because of the following: 1. He's willing to call it forgery, lying and deceit (where appropriate). 2. He says those who use milder adjectives are not supported by the evidence. 3. He used......more
