Bart D. Ehrman is a New Testament scholar, textual critic, and an expert on early Christianity. He attempts to discern the original wording of the gospels, epistles, and other ancient texts. His research demonstrates that early Christians altered the Biblical texts in order to make them more uniform and bring them into conformity with changing beliefs. Ehrman now considers himself an agnostic. He appeared on The Colbert Report, as well as The Daily Show <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Bart+D

Quotes

• “The question is then how can we decide what anybody in the ancient world said. We can't. We wish we could. It would be nice if we could. You would like to think that because you can go to the store and buy an edition of Plato that you are actually reading Plato, but the problem is that we just do not have the kind of evidence that we need in order to establish what ancient authors actually wrote.”
• “My thesis can be stated simply: scribes occasionally altered the words of their sacred texts to make them more patently orthodox and to prevent their misuse by Christians who espoused aberrant views.”
• “Very few people who devote their lives to studying the historical Jesus actually want to find a Jesus who is completely removed from our own time. What people want ... is relevance.”
• “From the historians' perspective it is striking that all forms of early Christianity claimed authorization of their views by tracing their lineage back through the apostles to Jesus.”
• “For the only reason (I came to think) for God to inspire the Bible would be so that his people would have his actual words; but if he really wanted to have his actual words, surely he would have miraculously preserved those words, just as he had miraculously inspired them in the first place.”
• “Judas's act of "betrayal" is in fact his faithful obedience to Jesus' will.”
