In Jesus, Interrupted, Bart Ehrman reveals the contradictions lurking within the New Testament, which he argues are not even hidden, as they are taught to people like pastors in seminary schools, but simply ignored by laypeople. With sharp analysis, Ehrman exposes the deeply human origins of Scripture.

Turning a critical eye to the Bible, Ehrman unpacks how the text we have today was cobbled together over time. He reveals a book riddled with discrepancies. Stories that contradict each other, told decades or hundreds of years after the events described, split by oral tradition. Forged and altered passages. Gospels attributed to people who didn't write them. Accounts written by authors unknown. The more Ehrman uncovers, the less the Bible seems divinely inspired.

While probably disturbing for some readers unfamiliar with textual criticism, Ehrman's insights are delivered with an accessible touch. He guides general readers through scholarly research that's often dense and technical. The resulting book is a great read; one that will make you completely rethink the Bible as the inerrant word of God. Jesus, Interrupted enlightens as much as it unravels. You'll never read the Gospels the same way again. I recommend to believers, nonbelievers, and those questioning their beliefs.
