Jesus, Interrupted
From Textus Receptus
Jesus, Interrupted: Revealing the Hidden Contradictions in the Bible (And Why We Don't Know About Them) is a book by Bart D. Ehrman, a New Testament scholar at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. According to Rich Barlow, of the Boston Globe, the book is a critical approach to the Bible to understand its early origins.[1] Gary Kamiya wrote that the book says "the man from Galilee was a radical Jewish prophet, not God."[2] According to CNN, Ehrman writes in the conclusion of the book: "Doctrines such as the divinity of Jesus and heaven and hell are not based on anything Jesus or his earlier followers said. At least 19 of the 27 books in the New Testament are forgeries. Believing the Bible is infallible is not a condition for being a Christian."[3]
