Jesus, Interrupted: Revealing the Hidden Contradictions in the Bible (and Why We Don't Know about Them) Audiobook

" A great book if you want a better understanding of the most important book in the history of western civilization. Very eye opening and a great read in general. "

" This book is good to read if your a church going person. It will challenge all your knowledge about the Bible and who Jesus was. I want to read it again. Although I am a little frightened.... "

" Any critical reading of the 'New Testament' will reveal many contradictions between the communities that wrote the Gospels and Acts. Ehrman is accessible to non-scholars and the erudite alike. "

" About half-way in and it's fascinating! Just closed the book - it was really a great read. "

" Approach with an open mind. An interesting look at the New Testament. The Bible viewed the history & politics of early Christianity. If you are not open to new interpretations, skip it. If you are willing to question, it's worth reading. Audio book. "

" I wish this book had been written, and I could have read it, 20 years ago. It answers so many questions! "

" so far, this is a really interesting read. ive grown up in the church and am seeking to learn more about the historical Jesus and how the Bible came to be what it is today. SOme may find it a challenge to their faith, so far i've found it enlightening and haven't decided how it affects my views of faith and "truth." "

" Good read, but I didn't need to be convinced of anything! "

" I am engrossed in this book. It makes me want to have more understanding of Christianity, not less. "

" This book is a good crash course in the historical-critical method of biblical scholarship for those not specially trained...and a good look in the mirror for the pros. "

" Not a whole lot new in this book if you have read his "Introduction to the New Testament" textbook and some of his other books. Still engaging. Oddly, the textbook is a better read since this was kind a snippets from that and came across a bit disjointed for me. "

" Well-written, but not as interesting as I expected. Maybe I should have read it before I took a class on early Christianity. "

" Lots of good information although in parts, speculative. Ehrman challenges the near universal devotional reading of Christian scriptures as opposed to historical-critical reading. "

" I had forgotten just how historically and philosophically Christianity can be. "

" A worthy followup to Misquoting Jesus. Another accessible overview of the historical-critical study of the most important book in history. "

" applies 'Lost in Translation' to the new testament. If you even a small interest in how the original Greek bible was changed this bible scholar writes a very readable explanation. "

" Although somewhat repetitive, Ehrman gives a good overview of New Testament scholarship and the origins of Christian anti-Judaism for the non-specialist. "

" On track with Bart Erhmans other books. It'll expand your view about the bible. Period. "

" Highly recommend this book. I loved his summation, very closely tallies with my feelings. Some of you might find this book disturbing, as it doesn't gloss over or find excuses for the contradictions that we all know the bible contains. It drops the responsibility of your belief back in your lap. "

" About half-way in and it's fascinating! Just closed the book - it was really a great read. "

" This was mildly interesting.<br/>It suffered greatly for having everything repeated three times (at least).<br/>The biggest problem was that the author kept reiterating his main ideas.<br/>I would have liked the book better if the author hadn't restated each idea 3 times before he elaborated. "

" I never did figure out what the title of this book is supposed to mean, but it doesn't matter. The secondary title is most relevant. Ehrman is a biblical scholar in the &quot;historical-critical&quot; school and he really knows his stuff. Scholarly but quite readable, fascinating, and provocative. "

" On track with Bart Erhmans other books. It'll expand your view about the bible. Period. "

" First introduction to Ehrman, a very interesting read and very enlightening. "
