The bestselling author of Misquoting Jesus, one of the most renowned and controversial Bible scholars in the world today examines oral tradition and its role in shaping the stories about Jesus we encounter in the New Testament—and ultimately in our understanding of Christianity.
Throughout much of human history, our most important stories were passed down orally—including the stories about Jesus before they became written down in the Gospels. In this fascinating and deeply researched work, leading Bible scholar Bart D. Erhman investigates the role oral history has played in the New Testament—how the telling of these stories not only spread Jesus’ message but helped shape it.
A master explainer of Christian history, texts, and traditions, Ehrman draws on a range of disciplines, including psychology and anthropology, to examine the role of memory in the creation of the Gospels. Explaining how oral tradition evolves based on the latest scientific research, he demonstrates how the act of telling and retelling impacts the story, the storyteller, and the listener—crucial insights that challenge our typical historical understanding of the silent period between when Jesus lived and died and when his stories began to be written down.
As he did in his previous books on religious scholarship, debates on New Testament authorship, and the existence of Jesus of Nazareth, Ehrman combines his deep knowledge and meticulous scholarship in a compelling and eye-opening narrative that will change the way we read and think about these sacred texts.

Thank you for this!

Thank you, constra, for the Ehrman books. He is always interesting, and despite covering much the same matter in most of his books he always gives me new facts and ideas to think about.

Yeah, well he is a New Testament scholar, so one should expect his books be connected to it and be somewhat similar in tone/time/subject :)

The author is very much like a New Testament character: Judas. The modern-day Judas has sold out our Savior and is trying to assassinate His Good character. After all - lies and murder come from the devil…
…and I personally don’t care if you slag me.

These books are for people seeking the truth and have an open mind.

That’s a good quote from Sagan but it opens up a debate about what Truth is, and whose Truth are we talking about? The author is a substantial scholar, however, we always know going into these things that everyone has their agenda. This bias can have a heavily distorting effect on the Truth, which the author is genuinely trying to present.
Are values and facts amenable to the same methodical analysis, or do they occupy disparate spheres?
Thanks Constra, for this and the other uploads.

If Freud was correct, this book says more about Bart Ehrman than the historical Jesus. At this point the Gospels of the New Testament are the earliest records penned by his followers.

can someone seed please?

The Gospels weren’t penned by his followers! Not only were the individual gospels written many years after THEIR deaths, they weren’t even written by a single person but were in-fact written by multiple people!
