![]() ![]() At times he has seemed more preacher than scholar. Indeed, as Ehrman has sought to engage the lay public directly with this message it seems that his academic career (at least in recent years) has largely turned, well, non-academic. Regardless of the particular topic, the overall message of all these books is very much the same: Christians need to wake up to the fact that the Bible they so cherish is not to be trusted. In Lost Christianities (2003) he challenged the Bible on the basis of theological diversity in the early church, in Lost Scriptures (2003) he challenged the Bible on the basis of the development of the canon, in Misquoting Jesus (2005) he challenged the Bible on the basis of textual transmission, and in God's Problem (2007) he challenged the Bible on the basis of the problem of evil. One begins to wonder how many different ways this can be done by Ehrman. Just in time for Easter, Bart Ehrman has (again) offered another popular-level assault on the historical integrity of the Bible. ![]() ![]() This review has been used by permission as appeared in WTJ 71, no.2, Fall 2009 ![]()
