This New York Times bestseller reveals how books in the Bible were actually forged by later authors, and that the New Testament itself is riddled with contradictory claims about Jesus--information that scholars know... but the general public does not.

Although this has been the standard and widespread view of scholars for two centuries, most people have never learned of it.

    Jesus A New Testament Historians View

    Erhman presents a balanced and well thought out understanding of how the many competing varieties of Christianity evolved in its first three centuries. By the early fourth century Erhman is able to demonstrate very convincingly how Proto-orthodox Christianity became the winning movement. The book makes for enlightening reading and it’s clarity of expression makes for an enjoyable read.

    Unfortunate Lost Soul

    Terribly sad to see a once "Christian" formally trained in theology and the New Testament go to such great lengths blaspheming Scripture while attempting to lead others astray. Of course, the mainstream media and our pluralistic society love this.
