Synopsis

The problems with the Bible that New Testament scholar Bart Ehrman discussed in his bestseller Misquoting Jesus—and on The Daily Show with John Stewart, NPR, and Dateline NBC, among others—are expanded upon exponentially in his latest book: Jesus, Interrupted. This New York Times bestseller reveals how books in the Bible were actually forged by later authors, and that the New Testament itself is riddled with contradictory claims about Jesus—information that scholars know… but the general public does not. If you enjoy the work of Elaine Pagels, Marcus Borg, John Dominic Crossan, and John Shelby Spong, you’ll find much to ponder in Jesus, Interrupted.

Ok, so what makes this a decent read is that it is designed to be read by the layman who is interested in the New Testament. And because of that you don't actually need a degree in anything to understand what he is saying. The vast majority of things that Ehrman mentions as contradictory or odd are a......more

Goodreads review by Stephanie *Eff your feelings* on June 18, 2012

I’m going to catch Hell for this……….. The Bible is the most boring book ever written. Ever. This book has some very interesting observations and conclusions, but the author admitted he was delving into the minutia of the Bible but that he just couldn’t help himself, he then stated “I’m going to stop......more
