Misrepresenting Jesus: Debunking Bart D. Ehrman's "Misquoting Jesus", Paperback

This fourth edition will be dealing with the Greek text of our New Testament, through the Eyes of Dr. Bart D. Ehrman, in his New York Times bestseller: Misquoting Jesus: The Story Behind Who Changed the Bible and Why (2005). First, in the introduction, we will look into Bart D. Ehrman's early life and spiritual decline as he moved from being an evangelical conservative Christian to becoming an agnostic skeptic. Second, we will open with chapter one covering the book writing process of the New Testament authors and early Christian scribes. Then, we will spend three lengthy chapters covering the reading culture of early Christianity because of Ehrman's claim of just how low the literacy rates were in early Christianity. After that, we will take one chapter to investigate the early Christian copyists because of Ehrman's claim that most of the scribal errors come from the first three centuries. Following this will be one of the most critical chapters examining Ehrman's claim of 400,000 textual variants errors] and what impact they have on the integrity of the Greek New Testament. We will then investigate Bible Difficulties and what they mean for the trustworthiness of God's Word. After that, we will give the reader the fundamentals of some of Ehrman's complaints, debunking them as we investigate each one throughout seven chapters.
