Thanks.
Two follow-up questions:
1) Why is Erhman's book seen as such a threat to many evangelicals?
2) The article you linked contains the following quote:
"Likewise, the Bible has proved itself reliable through prophecy, historical events,
archaeology, and in many other areas." (my emphasis)
How literally do you believe the old testament? Age of the earth, deluge, etc.
