Description
The Story Behind Who Changed the Bible and Why For nearly 1,500 years, the New Testament manuscripts were copied by hand, resulting in mistakes and intentional changes that have shaped our understanding of the Bible. Bart Ehrman, a leading religious and biblical scholar, explores how these alterations have influenced our widely held beliefs about the divinity of Jesus, the Trinity, and the origins of the Bible. Ehrman examines the earliest surviving manuscripts, revealing where and why changes were made, and explains how the variations in our cherished biblical stories came to be. He also discusses why only certain versions of the stories qualify for publication in the Bibles we read today. This thought-provoking book is a personal reflection on how Ehrman's study of the Greek manuscripts led him to re-evaluate his own views on the Bible. By exploring the history of the Bible's manuscripts, Ehrman sheds new light on the complex and often contentious process of biblical transmission.
