Bart D. Ehrman is Feb 2007. If you enjoy this novel, it is available for buy as a paperback from Barnes & Noble or Indigo, as an ebook on the Amazon Kindle store, or as an audiobook on Audible.
The New Testament manuscripts were copied by hand over a period of about 1,500 years, and the resulting manuscript copies are riddled with errors and deliberate modifications. The controversial argument put out by religious and biblical scholar Bart Ehrman is that many of our commonly held convictions like the Trinity, Jesus' divinity, and the Bible's divine beginnings are the product of deliberate and unintentional changes made by scribes.
Ehrman provides a compelling and fascinating book that explains the whereabouts and reasons behind the modifications made to our oldest surviving manuscripts. It also explains, for the first time, how our beloved biblical stories came to be in all their variations and why only a select few of the stories are included in the Bibles we read today. Ehrman begins his narrative with personal observations on how his study of the Greek manuscripts led him to renounce his previous extreme conservatism toward the Bible.
