A couple of weeks ago, on my post “Why Catholicism“, a commenter said that I clearly hadn’t read Bart Ehrman’s Lost Christianities, or I’d know better. I replied that I didn’t regard Ehrman as a reliable authority, and after another exchange or two dropped it. I’m not a biblical scholar, I’m simply a layman who’s been doing some reading, and I don’t have all of the relevant facts at my fingertips.
Fr. Robert Barron, on the other hand, does; and just recently he wrote a piece about Ehrman’s latest book. It’s worth your time.
