Misquoting Jesus: The Story Behind Who Changed the Bible and Why by Bart Ehrman
Requirements: .ePUB, .MOBI/.AZW reader, 2.04 MB
Overview: The book that catapulted Prof. Bart Ehrman to fame and which introduced and popularized to the general public the genre of Biblical Scholarship/Textual Criticism. In a clear and lucid style, Bart Ehrman narrates the history of the surviving biblical manuscripts and how they were put together to form the current Bible that we have today–and in so doing, revealing the mysteries that lie behind the verses that were only added later by the scribes (they are not found in the earliest manuscripts). Profoundly informative and entertaining.
For almost 1,500 years, the New Testament manuscripts were copied by hand––and mistakes and intentional changes abound in the competing manuscript versions. Religious and biblical scholar Bart Ehrman makes the provocative case that many of our widely held beliefs concerning the divinity of Jesus, the Trinity, and the divine origins of the Bible itself are the results of both intentional and accidental alterations by scribes.
In this compelling and fascinating book, Ehrman shows where and why changes were made in our earliest surviving manuscripts, explaining for the first time how the many variations of our cherished biblical stories came to be, and why only certain versions of the stories qualify for publication in the Bibles we read today. Ehrman frames his account with personal reflections on how his study of the Greek manuscripts made him abandon his once ultra–conservative views of the Bible.
