  • The Textual Reliability of the New Testament: a Dialogue
    1 x The Textual Reliability of the New Testament: A Dialogue Bart D. Ehrman and Daniel B. Wallace OPENING REMARKS Bart D. Ehrman Thank you very much; it’s a privilege to be with you. I teach at the University of North Carolina. I’m teaching a large undergraduate class this semester on the New Testament, and of course, most of my students are from the South; most of them have been raised in good Christian families. I’ve found over the years that they have a far greater commitment to the Bible than knowledge about it. So this last semester, I did something I don’t normally do. I started off my class of 300 students by saying the first day, “How many of you in here would agree with the proposition that the Bible is the inspired word of God?” Voom! The entire room raises its hand. “Okay, that’s great. Now how many of you have read The Da Vinci Code?” Voom! The entire room raises its hand. “How many of you have read the entire Bible?” Scattered hands. “Now, I’m not telling you that I think God wrote the Bible. You’re telling me that you think God wrote the Bible. I can see 13 14 THE RELIABILITY OF THE NEW TESTAMENT why you’d want to read a book by Dan Brown. But if God wrote a book, wouldn’t you want to see what he had to say?” So this is one of the mysteries of the universe. The Bible is the most widely purchased, most thoroughly read, most broadly misunderstood book in the history of human civilization.

  • Evaluating Bart Ehrman's Textual Reconstruction
    ASIA JOURNAL OF THEOLOGY April, vol. 31(1): 23-35 © Author(s) 2017 Reprints and permissions: [email protected] Evaluating Bart Ehrman’s Textual Reconstruction: A Test Case on John 1:18 Stefanus KRISTIANTO Sekolah Teologi Awam Reformed, Indonesia Abstract Bart Ehrman was a good textual scholar, but some of his notions have provoked animated discussions. One of his provocative notions is his view on the textual transmission of the New Testament. He contends that there were many theo- logically motivated alterations during the transmission process that affected the validity of some Christian doctrines. In this article I will evaluate Ehrman’s historical reconstruction of John 1:18 as a test case. I will show that Ehrman’s reconstruction of this passage is incorrect and that no Christian doctrines are affected, whatever reading we take. This, of course, will not automatically prove that Ehrman’s reconstruction of other passages is wrong; but at least it will prompt the reader to question Ehrman’s other historical reconstructions, or even his whole thesis. Keywords Bart Ehrman, John 1:18, New Testament, textual criticism, textual transmission INTRODUCTION Bart Ehrman is a scholar well known for his skills in transforming tech- nical academic discussions into comprehensible and interesting writings. It is unsurprising, then, that some of his works have been included on The New York Times best seller list.1 Although Ehrman’s studies were initially 1 Some of his works that have become bestsellers are Misquoting Jesus: The Story Behind Who Changed the Bible and Why (San Francisco: HarperSanFrancisco, 2005); idem, God’s Problem: How the Bible Fails to Answer our Most Important Question—Why We Suffer (San Francisco: HarperOne, 2008); idem, Jesus Interrupted: Revealing the Hidden Corresponding author Stefanus KRISTIANTO: [email protected] 24 Asia Journal of Theology born out of the North American context, his influence could be felt else- where, including Asia.

  • Textual Criticism Good Morning Good to Be Back Thank You for Hospitality
    Textual Criticism Good morning Good to be back Thank you for hospitality and for being here. Slide 2 The Challenge Barth Ehrman is currently the James A. Gray Distinguished Professor of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Ehrman is a leading New Testament scholar, having written and edited over twenty-five books, including three college textbooks. He has also achieved acclaim at the popular level, authoring four New York Times bestsellers. Ehrman's work focuses on textual criticism of the New Testament, the Historical Jesus, and the evolution of early Christianity. In his book, Misquoting Jesus: The Story Behind Who Changed the Bible and Why, Bart Ehrman, writes this about the New Testament, Not only do we not have the originals, we don't have the first copies of the originals. We don't even have copies of the copies of the originals, or copies of the copies of the copies of the originals. What we have are copies made later—much later. In most instances, they are copies made many centuries later. And these copies all differ from one another, in many thousands of places. As we will see later in this book, these copies differ from one another in so many places that we don't even know how many differences there are. Possibly it is easiest to put it in comparative terms: there are more differences among our manuscripts than there are words in the New Testament.1 Slide 3 The Challenge Please open your Bible and read from the Gospel of Luke, chapter 22 with me.

In some ways, though, Judaism was distinctive. A second supposition necessary for Ehrman's case is that the non- professional scribes that he postulates did most of the copying of New Testament documents until the fourth-century, when Constantine became the first emperor to commission new copies of the Bible, did not do nearly as careful a job as the professional scribes that he postulates did most of the post-Constantinian copying. I would be interested in reading a book from a believer's perspective. Jun 16, Martin Pierce rated it did not like it. In the end, Ehrman is not saying anything new, anything that has not been said by textual critics for years and years and years. In view of this, it's hard to appreciate the lofty value that textual critics hold of their work. All other religions in the empire were polytheistic -- acknowledging and worshiping many gods of all sorts and functions: great gods of the state, lesser gods of various locales, gods who oversaw different aspects of human birth, life, and death.

  • Bart D. Ehrman, Misquoting Jesus: the Story Behind Who Changed the Bible and Why (San Francisco: Harpersanfrancisco, 2005)
    A RESPONSE TO BART D. EHRMAN’S MISQUOTING JESUS Introduction Bart D. Ehrman, Ph.D. is the chairman of the Department of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He is touted to be one of North America’s leading textual critics today. His recent book, Misquoting Jesus: The Story Behind Who Changed the Bible and Why, is a popular level text that many reviewers take to be an effort to present the field of New Testament textual criticism to a larger, primarily lay, audience. I found it particularly difficult to mount a response to this book.1 Not because the book is a scholarly presentation, which it certainly is not, and it is not designed to be—this is not a criticism, but a recognition that this is a book written on a popular level, not an academic level. And not because the author makes assertions and claims which are difficult to understand. To the individual with even rudimentary training in textual criticism, church history, philosophy, and logic the multitude of problems with this book are easily identifiable. Rather, I found this book difficult because virtually every assertion and every claim is so fully laden with exaggeration, misrepresentation, selective reporting, and outright falsehoods that almost every line requires a recasting in an accurate light and involves a lengthy response to a series of misrepresentations and half-truths, each built upon the conclusions of the previous. Ehrman has woven a tight web of exaggeration, partial truths, falsehood, and misrepresentation that would take many more pages, and many more hours than we have, to unravel in order to set the record straight.

  • Misquoting Jesus: the Story Behind Who Changed the Bible and Why Pdf
    FREE MISQUOTING JESUS: THE STORY BEHIND WHO CHANGED THE BIBLE AND WHY PDF Bart D. Ehrman | 272 pages | 13 Sep 2011 | HarperCollins Publishers Inc | 9780060859510 | English | New York, United States Misquoting Jesus: The Story Behind Who Changed the Bible and Why by Bart D. Ehrman An accomplished scholar of early Christianity, Ehrman religious studies, Univ. He sketches the development of New Testament literature, the gradual accumulation of errors therein through the accidental or intentional revisions of copyists, and attempts beginning with Erasmus in the 16th century to reconstruct the original text. Since mainstream study editions of the Bible have long drawn attention to the existence of alternate readings, the Misquoting Jesus: The Story Behind Who Changed The Bible and Why well-informed reader will not find much revolutionary analysis here. Recommended for all public libraries. The popular perception of the Bible as a divinely perfect book receives scant support from Ehrman, who sees in Holy Writ ample evidence of human fallibility and ecclesiastical politics. Though himself schooled in evangelical literalism, Ehrman has come to regard his earlier faith in the inerrant inspiration of the Bible as misguided, given that the original texts have disappeared and that the extant texts available do not agree with one another. Most of the textual discrepancies, Ehrman acknowledges, matter little, but some do profoundly affect religious doctrine. To assess how ignorant or theologically manipulative scribes may have changed the biblical text, modern scholars have developed procedures for comparing diverging texts. And in language accessible to nonspecialists, Ehrman explains these procedures and their results. He further explains why textual criticism has frequently sparked intense controversy, especially among scripture-alone Protestants.

  • A Review Article of "Misquoting Jesus" by Bart Ehrman
    JETS 49/2 (June 2006) 327–49 REVIEW ARTICLE THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO BART: A REVIEW ARTICLE OF MISQUOTING JESUS BY BART EHRMAN daniel b. wallace* For most students of the NT, a book on textual criticism is a real yawn. The tedious details are not the stuff of a bestseller. But since its publication on November 1, 2005, Misquoting Jesus has been circling higher and higher toward the Amazon peak.1 And since Bart Ehrman, one of North America’s leading textual critics, appeared on two of NPR’s programs (the Diane Rehm Show and Fresh Air with Terry Gross)—both within the space of one week— it has been in the top fifty sellers at Amazon. Within three months, more than 100,000 copies were sold. When Neely Tucker’s interview of Ehrman in The Washington Post appeared on March 5 of this year, the sales of Ehrman’s book shot up still higher. Mr. Tucker spoke of Ehrman as a “fundamentalist scholar who peered so hard into the origins of Christianity that he lost his faith altogether.”2 Nine days later, Ehrman was the guest celebrity on Jon Stewart’s The Daily Show. Stewart said that seeing the Bible as something that was deliberately corrupted by orthodox scribes made the Bible “more interesting . almost more godly in some respects.” Stewart concluded the interview by stating, “I really congratulate you. It’s a helluva book!” Within 48 hours, Misquoting Jesus was perched on top of Amazon, if only for a moment. Two months later and it is still flying high, staying in the top 25 or so books.
