![]() He often does this in his books to tell how, becoming enlightened, his position changed. Ehrman begins his study on a biographical note. Answers and debates around what Ehrman raises have been around for a long time, but one reading this book would never really know what the real conversation is about in these kinds of examples. In fact, folks like Augustine and Origen were aware of the kinds of issues he raises. His chapters discuss supposed contradictions he sees in the text, the point of variant readings, debates about authorship, treatment of issues tied to the historical Jesus, and discussion about orthodox Christianity emerging later than the first century out of an originally more diverse situation. Saying in effect, “Take that,” Ehrman tackles an array of textual issues. In a real sense, Jesus, Interrupted is an “in your face” book for those who have a high regard for the Bible. What the book does is put many of these well known examples in one place, laid out so anyone reading the Bible has to face up to them. ![]() ![]() ![]() As Ehrman points out, these issues go back centuries-and the positions he defends have been advocated for a few centuries.
