Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

This title tells the human story behind the divine book. In this New York Times bestseller, leading Bible expert Bart Ehrman skillfully demonstrates that the New Testament is riddled with contradictory views about who Jesus was and the significance of his life.

Ehrman reveals that many of the books were written in the names of the apostles by Christians living decades later, and that central Christian doctrines were the inventions of still later theologians. Although this has been the standard and widespread view of scholars for two centuries, most people have never learned of it.

Jesus, Interrupted is a clear and compelling account of the central challenges we have when attempting to reconstruct the life and meaning of Jesus.

IndyWeek praises Ehrman's skill in making complex scholarship accessible to a broad audience, calling him a publishing superstar. Durham Herald-Sun notes Ehrman's unique approach in blending personal journey with academic insight, chronicling his transformation from evangelical fundamentalist to agnostic. Salon.com highlights the intriguing way Ehrman dispassionately exposes Christianity's historically constructed truths, which may especially resonate with nonbelievers.
