Keeping Your Options Open: Bart Ehrman, Fundamentalism and Orthodoxy

Keeping Your Options Open: Bart Ehrman, Fundamentalism and Orthodoxy

Like a Child has posted on Bart Ehrman. In addition to links to here and to Bob Cargill’s recent post, and adding some of her own thoughts and reflections, she links to a video of a conversation between Bart Ehrman and another former fundamentalist. This one, however, ended up in Eastern Orthodoxy rather than agnosticism. That’s quite a different reaction to discovering problems with your assumptions about the Bible! But for those familiar with the mystical, apophatic stream of Eastern Christianity, this is probably less surprising.

Anyway, I just learned of the video above, and so am sharing it before watching it, confident that it will have interesting and thought-provoking content.

One last last thing to mention on this topic. My advance review copy of Ehrman’s new book Forged came in the mail yesterday, and so I will be blogging about it soon!
