Misquoting Jesus: The Story Behind Who Changed the Bible and Why - Book Review
Title: Misquoting Jesus: The Story Behind Who Changed the Bible and Why
Author: Bart D. Ehrman
Number of Pages: 242
Genre: Non-Fiction, Religion
Book Number: 17
Review: There wasn't as much substance to this book as his later book "Jesus, Interrupted." It covered a lot of the same material, but with a slightly different purpose. [JI had almost all of this information plus additional information.] It was an interesting read and has quite a bit of what I believe to be relevant information in it. It's extremely frustrating that all of these contradictions exist, but yet many people pick the 'worst' of these contradictions as justification to persecute people. I'll be moving on to Misquoting Truth: A Guide to the Fallacies of Bart Ehrman's 'Misquoting Jesus. I'm going to keep at least a not-shut mind, but I'm not really holding much stock in this book. I do believe in exploring both sides of an argument though, so I will give it a shot.
