Bart D. Ehrman, the New York Times bestselling author of Jesus, Interrupted and God's Problem reveals which books in the Bible's New Testament were not passed down by Jesus's disciples, but were instead forged by other hands--and why this centuries-hidden scandal is far more significant than many scholars are willing to admit. A controversial work of historical reporting in the tradition of Elaine Pagels, Marcus Borg, and John Dominic Crossan, Ehrman's Forged delivers a stunning explication of one of the most substantial--yet least discussed--problems confronting the world of biblical scholarship.
Prof. Ehrman documents his research and points out the forgery of some books of the New Testament. Reading this book is learning a lecture from him. Of course, orthodox Christians do not want you to know the whole story taught in seminary. The organized religion is ordered to convince and convert others in different faiths.
Be(lie)ve still includes lies! Baptism saying is that you only acknowledge his life and death and resurrection. Accept the present status for the eternal life in sky? Expect the victim turn the other cheeks? Please practice what you preach!
It is interesting to know the truth from Prof. Ehrman.
