Hi, I'm new here and noticed there was already Ehrman threads here. I have compiled his media appearances (audio and video). I didn't know where to post it, so moderators please merge this if necessary. Feel free to copy these memes.

Bart Ehrman is a former fundamentalist that now calls himself a "happy agnostic". He has a new book out that shows how the bible got changed and why. Check out the Diane Rehm show and how he answers objections to callers.

Quote:

A New Testament scholar describes how mistakes and intentional changes made by scribes who hand copied the words of Jesus and the writings of Saint Paul have shaped cherished biblical stories and widely held beliefs.

Bart Ehrman's 'Misquoting Jesus'
by Terry Gross Fresh Air from WHYY, December 14, 2005

Quote:

Scholar Bart Ehrman's new book explores how scribes -- through both omission and intention -- changed the Bible. Misquoting Jesus: The Story Behind Who Changed the Bible and Why is the result of years of reading the texts in their original languages.

Ehrman says the modern Bible was shaped by mistakes and intentional alterations that were made by early scribes who copied the texts. In the introduction to Misquoting Jesus, Ehrman writes that when he came to understand this process 30 years ago, it shifted his way of thinking about the Bible. He had been raised as an Evangelical Christian.

Ehrman is also the author of Lost Christianities: The Battle for Scripture and the Faiths We Never Knew, which chronicles the period before Christianity as we know it, when conflicting ideas about the religion were fighting for prominence in the second and third centuries.

The chairman of the religious studies department at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, Ehrman also edited a collection of the early non-canonical texts from the first centuries after Christ, called Lost Scriptures: Books that Did Not Make It into the New Testament.
