Ehrman's scholarship a result of personal suffering?

That's a mischaracterization of Ehrman's work. Whoever that is is an ass.

I just finished Misquoting Jesus. It's cool he devoted a chapter to explaining the methodology behind textual criticism.
I did not get the sense that the Bible is so corrupt it's unreliable. It wasn't a polemic and it certainly didn't affect my testimony. I don't know why people are so scared of him. |
that's because you have a completely different conception of authority and revelation than the average Protestant Christian.
For them the Bible is literally the tentpole that holds everything up. If the Bible is not perfect, if the Bible is not completely reliable, then the whole thing comes crashing down. When we say "because God has revealed it" that is not shorthand for "because it is in the Bible." We are much more expansive than that. They are not. |
