I guess we will read Ehrman's Misquoting Jesus
Purchase and read, go forth and learn!

But why purchase when you can check out a book from your local library?? Eh?
(Why do I feel like I'm on Reading Rainbow?) |

My wife and I have this dispute all the time. I like to buy books but she insists on going to the library. As a result, our home library is dominated by my choices, which isn't necessarily a good thing. I prefer buying becasue you can read at your leisure, read gain, and you know where it has been.

So, I've finally converted over to actually using a library. Which makes sense seeing as how I am, after all, a librarian. The thing I really don't like about library books is the coffee stains. And the dried boogers. But maybe that's an Oklahoma thing. |

I think I'll buy the book and join in. I need to upgrade my reading from my current diet of Junie B. Jones/Cat in the Hat/Five Little Monkeys. |

My copy of Misquoting is well-broken in. For those trying to save $ but who want to buy, I believe there's a paperback edition out now. I look forward to a great discussion.

FYI: There is a paperback version coming out on Feb. 6th. It appears that it will have a new bonus section. You can pre-order on amazon.com.
I look forward to reading it.

Do I heed my Scottish ancestry and wait, or do I purchase any way? If I wait I can also order the Introduction to the New Testament as well. Choices.

As a Master Cheapskate, I'd advise that you wait to make the purchase.
