    Where Was Christianity on its 100th Birthday?
    Sep 17 2024

    Welcome everyone to a very special episode of Misquoting Jesus - our 100th episode!

    In keeping with our centesimal celebration (hey, it's a word!), we’re going to be exploring the world of Christianity 100 years after Jesus’ death.

    Was Christianity still a small, persecuted offshoot of apocalyptic Judaism, or had it spread far and wide? Was it still an apocalyptic religion, and what theological disagreements had occurred? Megan has the questions, and Bart, as always, has the answers.

  • What Does the Bible Say about Abortion?

    What Does the Bible Say about Abortion?
    Sep 10 2024

    The Bible is frequently invoked in the ongoing national debates about abortion, almost always to show that abortion is murder and strictly forbidden. Is that true?

    This episode is not meant to resolve the issue about whether abortion should ever be considered a legitimate procedure or not.

    The focus is on what the Bible actually says. Does it condemn abortion? Does it indicate that the fetus is to be considered a human with human rights, so that abortion constitutes murder? When, according to the Bible, does life begin. The overarching point of the episode is that those who cite the Bible in support of their social and political views should at least read what it says and be clear about what it means.

  • How to Detect a Forgery: The Secret Gospel of Mark

    How to Detect a Forgery: The Secret Gospel of Mark
    Sep 3 2024

    New manuscripts discoveries in Biblical studies are often outed as forgeries, But sometimes -- rarely -- they turn out to be authentic.

    How do scholars distinguish between fact and fiction, especially when they only have access to photographs or copies? Is it possible for a text to pass all authenticity tests and still be a clever forgery?

    Today we’re back with Dr. Morton Smith and the Secret Gospel of Mark to discuss he discovered an actual ancient document with unknown information about Jesus, or turned up a forgery of some kind, or possibly even forged it himself.

historical background

I really enjoy listening to the history and politics of those days. not sure why Bart doesn't believe in God but he certainly knows the new testament forward and backwards.

I'm a Dr. SupErhman Super Fan

I read my first Dr. Ehrman book about 15 years ago, and I have read everything he's written since. While he didn't cause my own personal transition away from Christianity, his scholarship, knowledge, and ease of explanation made me feel comfortable about my transition. Even for a devotee like me, I have learned from this podcast.

Thank you, Bart, for sharing this knowledge.

This really is must listen radio for anyone living in the Western side of the world. Want to know why? Listen and find out!

A podcast worth listening to for a deeper understanding of Jesus & the Bible

Dr. Erhman provides a knowledgeable guide to a complex, highly fragmented religion. The podcast, hosted by Megan Lewis provides a deep dive into Christianity & the Bible - a subject that has influenced our past, present & likely future. Highly recommended.

An excellent talk on the NRSVue

Jennifer Knut was on the committee that updated the NRSV, already the standard academic English version of the Bible. She talks about the word duos (slave/servant), as well as the problems the committee faced.

Fascinating podcast based on historical information

Dr. Ehrman provides a deep historical knowledge-based and logical approach to biblical stories. It’s a must listen for anyone exploring what facts are available from 2 millennia ago and the investigation into the circumstantial data to determine the events that most likely occurred and what was believed at that time.

My favorite religious studies podcast. Actually my favorite anything podcast.

I’ve read & listened to dozens of religious scholars and Bart Ehrman is my absolute favorite. I’ve read everything he’s written but these conversations are just something you can’t get in a book. Highly recommend for people on the whole religious spectrum. It’s definitely in depth on topics you won’t get from any pew. And the current research discussed is great for atheists, agnostics, and even, or especially, practicing Christians who want to understand the history and context of the book that shaped western civilization and our current culture.

Excellent and knowledgeable

Bart presents the latest scholarship about the Bible and Jesus in a way that’s clear to the general public. He is neither pro nor anti Christian. He is so popular because he is so reliable.

Not Christian

False . His opinion is clearly secular deception. He is making his best effort to deny everything Christian's believe to be true.
