Bart Ehrman, in his new book, Misquoting Jesus<\/em>, tells his story: how he found an evangelical faith, attended Moody, Wheaton and then Princeton \u2014 during which time he came to the conclusion that the Bible is simply a human book. Here\u2019s his story<\/a>. What did you think of his book?
\nI have a short review coming out in Covenant Companion<\/em> of the book, and I don\u2019t want to spill those beans here, and I am considering an even longer response soon.
\nThere are lots of things to discuss about Ehrman\u2019s book, but one of the most significant is a question we need to face more often: Why did God permit so many variations (variants) to the original Gospels and letters of Paul and the other books in the NT? I don\u2019t think Bart faces the kinds of differences fairly in his book \u2014 after all, most of them are entirely insignificant, and neither do I think he interacts enough with those who differ with him on these matters \u2014 after all, he isn\u2019t the first to notice these issues. But, I will say this: He asks us to face a good question.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
