Jesus, Interrupted

De: Bart D. Ehrman

Narrado por: Jason Culp

The problems with the Bible that New Testament scholar Bart Ehrman discussed in his bestseller Misquoting Jesus—and on The Daily Show with John Stewart, NPR, and Dateline NBC, among others—are expanded upon exponentially in his latest book: Jesus, Interrupted. This New York Times bestseller reveals how books in the Bible were actually forged by later authors, and that the New Testament itself is riddled with contradictory claims about Jesus—information that scholars know… but the general public does not. If you enjoy the work of Elaine Pagels, Marcus Borg, John Dominic Crossan, and John Shelby Spong, you’ll find much to ponder in Jesus, Interrupted.

Perfect balance of plain language and scholarship

This is the most approachable critical historical look at Jesus and the New Testament that I've yet read. This book should be mandatory reading for everyone, both believers and non-believers, who holds a strong opinion regarding Christianity. It certainly won't turn a non-believer into a believer. It's unlikely to turn a believer into a non-believer. But it is likely to make both sides take less extreme stances regarding the role of Christianity (especially those of the American Evangelical persuasion) in todays society.

well researched and laid out well

I've read many books like this, and while interesting I didn't have any shattering revelations. however it is a solid book. I just wish authors like this one didnt have to express their personal beliefs - just give the facts.

Very good!

Excelent book for believers and non-believers. I never realized the importance of reading the new testament gospels horizontally instead of the traditional vertical reading. Read the book or listen to the audio to find out!

Ehrman interrupts Jesus

I have been absolutely enamoured with this book since I download it. Listened more than twice and really enjoy the academic analysis of the 'holy' book. I am an ex Jehovahs Witness and reckoned I knew my (Watchtower) trained scriptures well. It's scary to think the volume of people who hang on the Bible as a truth as to where we are going and what we are. Well argued, intriguing and fascinating the Ehrman work is really on the ball when making its case. It should appeal to seekers of the real truth in all phases of life.

Life Changing

Don't start this book unless you are willing to hear strong, persuasive, fact based reasoning about the origins of the Bible and the Christian religion. It has changed my life.
