Book Description
When world-class biblical scholar Bart Ehrman first began to study the texts of the Bible in their original languages he was startled to discover the multitude of mistakes and intentional alterations that had been made by earlier translators. In Misquoting Jesus, Ehrman tells the story behind the mistakes and changes that ancient scribes made to the New Testament and shows the great impact they had upon the Bible we use today. He frames his account with personal reflections on how his study of the Greek manuscripts made him abandon his once ultraconservative views of the Bible. Since the advent of the printing press and the accurate reproduction of texts, most people have assumed that when they read the New Testament they are reading an exact copy of Jesus's words or Saint Paul's writings. And yet, for almost fifteen hundred years these manuscripts were hand copied by scribes who were deeply influenced by the cultural, theological, and political disputes of their day. Both mistakes and intentional changes abound in the surviving manuscripts, making the original words difficult to reconstruct. For the first time, Ehrman reveals where and why these changes were made and how scholars go about reconstructing the original words of the New Testament as closely as possible. Ehrman makes the provocative case that many of our cherished biblical stories and widely held beliefs concerning the divinity of Jesus, the Trinity, and the divine origins of the Bible itself stem from both intentional and accidental alterations by scribes -- alterations that dramatically affected all subsequent versions of the Bible.

Book Description
Excerpt from Lectures on the Apostles of Our Lord These Lectures were prepared and delivered origin ally as a course of monthly evening Lectures in my own pulpit. They are published with the humble but earnest desire that the Master may use them for the quickening of spiritual life in some souls. The subject is one which admits of being treated in many bearings. My aim has been wholly practical. The most attractive and interesting points of theology and criticism were being continually suggested in the course of preparation; but it was felt that these could not have been introduced without more or less diverting the attention of hearers and readers from the Person of Jesus as that is revealed in the lives of His chosen servants.
