Jesus, Interrupted
By Bart D. Ehrman
- Release Date: 2009-03-03
- Genre: Religion & Spirituality
Description
The problems with the Bible that New Testament scholar Bart Ehrman discussed in his bestseller Misquoting Jesus—and on The Daily Show with John Stewart, NPR, and Dateline NBC, among others—are expanded upon exponentially in his latest book: Jesus, Interrupted. This New York Times bestseller reveals how books in the Bible were actually forged by later authors, and that the New Testament itself is riddled with contradictory claims about Jesus—information that scholars know… but the general public does not. If you enjoy the work of Elaine Pagels, Marcus Borg, John Dominic Crossan, and John Shelby Spong, you’ll find much to ponder in Jesus, Interrupted.

Thought-provoking
4By Headline NewsI read this last year and it is incredibly insightful.A new look at the Bible
5By Prairie henBart Ehrman brings to light accurate history of our most revered book. He gives a historical, logical and personal summary of how the Bible was manipulated to convince the masses regarding the concepts of God, his values, and demands of the human race. I was convinced that the Bible is a human book written by humans. It lost relevance for me after reading this and other books by Ehrman. I've already read it 3 times!
