Jesus, Interrupted: Revealing the Hidden Contradictions in the Bible (And Why We Don't Know About Them)

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 many books in the Bible were not written by their traditional authors, and that the New Testament itself is filled with conflicting accounts about Jesus―information that scholars of biblical criticism 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. This landmark work unpacks the provocative questions that scholars have debated for centuries but are rarely discussed outside the seminary. Hidden Contradictions: A deep dive into the irreconcilable discrepancies between the Gospels regarding Jesus’s birth, his final words, and even the day and time of his death. Forged Books of the Bible: An investigation into the anonymous authors of the Gospels and the pseudonymous writers who forged letters in the names of the apostles to promote their own views. The Historical Jesus: How scholars use the historical-critical method to separate the man from the myths and reconstruct what Jesus of Nazareth likely said and did. Inventing Christianity: A startling exploration of how core Christian doctrines―like the suffering Messiah, the divinity of Christ, and the Trinity―were later developments of the early church.
