Like a Child has posted on Bart Ehrman<\/a>. In addition to links to here<\/a> and to Bob Cargill\u2019s recent post<\/a>, and adding some of her own thoughts and reflections, she links<\/a> to a video of a conversation between Bart Ehrman and another former fundamentalist<\/a>. This one, however, ended up in Eastern Orthodoxy rather than agnosticism. That\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

Watch live streaming video<\/a> from jamesandbart<\/a> at livestream.com<\/div>\n

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. <\/p>\n

One last last thing to mention on this topic. My advance review copy of Ehrman\u2019s new book Forged<\/a>\"\"<\/em> came in the mail yesterday, and so I will be blogging about it soon!<\/p>\n
