Bart Ehrman, religion professor at the NCAA tournament champion UNC, has just published a new book and it is on its way to my door step. The book is titled, ‘Jesus Interrupted: Revealing the Hidden Contradictions in the Bible‘ and you can read a good bit of the book here on his homepage at Harper One. I have read four of Ehrman’s book and have listened to three of his teaching company courses (The Apostolic Fathers class is Awesome!) and from the pages available for public reading this looks to be Ehrman writing with wit and readability for a general audience. Few New Testament authors are as substantive and readable, so if you are interested in the topic get the book. I will be blogging on it, along with Homebrewed Christianity Deacon Leaptrott, in the near future.
is this book supposed to be covering different territory than his other books on the same subject? i enjoy his books but have started to find some of them a bit repetitive. i refuse to read the one about how suffering is what caused him to eventually abandon his faith because the arguments around that are so obvious as to be painful to have to scream at the book while reading it. but i’ve enjoyed the academic material on the subject of the text of the Bible.
