Top review for a book by Bart Ehrman
A reader wrote a review on Misquoting Jesus The Story Behind Who Changed the Bible And Why
If you want to know about the true origins of the bible this is a must read. Scholar and one-time fundamentalist Ehrman demonstrates how the bible evolved.rnrnThe one thing we know about the books of the bible is that what we have today is simply the result of a political process: from the earliest copies the books of the bible have been revised, copied and edited. Often errors have been made inadvertantly, but sometimes they have been introduced to back a certain groups viewpoint. rnrnHow do we know this? Of the thousands of surviving copies of scripture from the early church literally no two are alike. And from scribes' notes (often times in the margins) you can trace the battle of ideas as the writing change from copy to copy.rnrnWhat's original? No one knows - but what we can say is that what we have is simply the msg the powers that were wanted promulgated at the time.
