If you're a fan of Bart D. Ehrman, like me, there are four fundamental texts for understanding his work. The first is that of Jesus: Apocalyptic Prophet of the new millennium, the second Orthodox Corruption of Scripture (popular in his book Misquoting Jesus), while the third is the question of God, which says that the problem of evil is which made him lose his faith and that, "Interruption of Jesus."
In a way, like "Jesus stopped" the best, probably because its goal is to reach the masses with solid biblical scholarship. I have long thought that students mostly speak for themselves, hoping for a good pat on the shoulders of other scholars. Do not get me wrong. Ehrman need specialists and who writes well is the lack of academic material. Ehrman is also wants to inform the masses about what Bible scholars have known a long time, but that pastors and ministers are not telling their parishioners, fearing they might be shocked to learn about it. And Ehrman is a master communicator as regards the New Testament, which is his specialty.
According to Ehrman this book talks about how kind "some of the faith – especially faith in the Bible as infallible, inspired Word of God historical – can not stand the light of what we, as historians know of the Bible . '(p. 18). It begins by describing the difference between a vertical reading of the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) with a horizontal reading of them. A vertical reading is just take one at a time when the Gospel reading and through it. A horizontal reading, however, is where to put the Gospels side by side and read together to see the differences in the accounts. When we read the gospels we find horizontal differences, irreconcilable differences and even contradictions, not only in small details, but also when it comes to important ideas presented by the authors.
Some minor differences are: Mark differs with John Giorno, when Jesus died (that Ehrman writes, "I do not think this is a difference that can be reconciled." P. 27), significant differences between Matthew Luke and on various aspects of the birth of Jesus, as the genealogies irreconcilable in their stories. Other differences are things like what the voice from heaven said at the baptism of Jesus, what Jesus did on the day after his baptism, but not the daughter of Jairus was dead when his father came to Jesus, who is for and against Jesus, how long the ministry of Jesus' lasted, Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus, because as a whole is dead, and the irreconcilable differences in the accounts of the resurrection of Jesus,
Ehrman also asks us to read the writings of Paul horizontally with the book of Acts compare. When we do there is no problem, even after the conversion of Paul was Paul to Jerusalem? Perhaps the churches of Judea know Paul?; Did Paul go to Athens alone?, How many journeys did Paul Jerusalem?; Paul established congregations were composed of Jews and Gentiles?
There are substantial differences as well as representing the death of Jesus in Mark where Jesus died in agony and despair, of Luke in which Jesus appears strangely in control of the situation. There are differences in the Gospel of St. John of the other gospels of the contents of the teachings of Jesus (the long speeches of proverbs and parables) accent, eschatology (which emphasizes Marcos, but dismissed by John) and purpose of miracles (which unlike other gospels of John, which were designed to convince people who do not believe).
Ehrman tells us that there are fundamental differences between the Apostle Paul and the Gospel writers: For the purpose of the law, because Jesus died, when Jesus became the Son of God, God overlooked the ignorance of the idolatrous and if the Roman state is a force for good and evil.
To keep this brief review of my brief the remaining chapters. In chapter four scholars Ehrman tells us really do not know who wrote the New Testament, except for some letters of Paul for the most part. In the fifth examines Ehrman we really know that Jesus is real and what he has said, which is not much given to the historical criteria that are used to understand these things. At best, Ehrman argues that Jesus as an apocalyptic prophet. And I think, as a historian can not conclude that Jesus is risen, as such a conclusion is beyond what the historian has the tools at their disposal. Chapter six deals with how we came to the Bible. It's been a long process of oral tradition in translations of texts, the canonization differ widely among the early Christians all vying to be considered the heirs of the original Jesus movement. Who invented Christianity, then that is the subject of chapter seven? The Christians, on the basis of misinterpretation of the texts, as the Suffering Servant in Isaiah 53. Christianity was later moved in the direction of a separate anti-Jewish in the hands of the Gentile Christians.
In the final chapter Ehrman disarm the believer, which I think is a very useful thing to do. Think it is still possible to believe, despite the problems in the New Testament. He's right. Even if he says what he has learned to know the Bible does seem more than a human being, not a divine book, and that Christianity is a human being, not a divine religion.
Ehrman concludes his book with these words: "It would be impossible … To argue that the Bible is a unified whole, infallible in all its parts, inspired by God in every way. It can not be that. There are too many disagreements, differences, contradictions, too many options to see the same problem, the alternatives are often at odds with each other. The Bible is not a unit is a plurality of mass. God did not write the Bible, people did. "(p. 279).
While this conclusion it will be challenged, Ehrman has written what must be taken seriously by all Christian believers. The arguments are now in a book easily accessible. As such, people in the bank can understand what scholars of the Bible in most of the workshops already know but are too shy to teach or preach from the pulpit in churches.
John W. Loftus, author of Why I became an Atheist: A Former Preacher Rejects Christianity
Full disclosure: The author of this review is a former Catholic altar boy (quiet), was briefly enrolled in a Franciscan seminary, he had eight years of Jesuit college / graduate education, and now is what the President called Obama non – believer "in his inaugural address. In common full author Bart Ehrman says he attended a fundamentalist school of the Bible, deepening their theological studies at Princeton and is currently a professor specializing in New Testament studies at the University of North Carolina. He also claims that he is agnostic, while explicitly stating that it was his Bible study that took him from evangelical Christianity to alternative sentencing in the state.
This is a special book. It is not a diatribe or a rule. This is a careful scholar and a review of the concerns of what is known or assumed, for the amazing book called the Bible. This book was written in the first place? The first list of 27 canonical books that are generally accepted as part of the New Testament, today was in 367 AD. How to get the 27 canonical books chosen by many other candidates, letters, documents, and the Gospels that were (and still exist)? What, one wonders, did the early Christians in the church without a Bible to read? Ehrman has some ideas on this issue. The earliest date that a church can be "based on the Bible" has been more than 300 years after Christ's death (in fact, the very low literacy rates and lack of invention of letterpress printing "Bible based on "the church is not feasible for another millennium). As Christians we have reached an agreement on what they believed, without a canon of Scripture? What to do with the very clear evidence that some of the currently accepted Gospels have been tampered with time, with later versions of the Gospels include whole passages that are absent from the oldest texts of the canonical books that have recovered? What to do with some Pauline letters clearly not written by Paul (which contain references to events that only happened after Paul was dead)? Professor Ehrman has some compelling ideas on the matter.
Give an old science-fiction fan a little 'of latitude here: If a foreigner to visit the theologian of the Earth with a mission to identify and study the books that Homo sapiens had declared sacred (eg the Bible, the Koran, the Bhagavad Gita) using advanced linguistic and archaeological tools to her / his disposal, Jesus, Interrupted is a book he / she has written.
If you are a believer in the Bible consistently and infallible, or are more interested in the literary and symbolic value of the Bible, look at Jesus, interrupted. Se sei un vero credentes, letto in modo che si Sappia ciò che sta di fronte. My task was a fighter in the arch of wool conservative who told me to read the books of "enemy" so that I could not understand their arguments. So I read Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto. E 'is informative (not convert me, but you know, the man had some interesting ideas). If you're a literary or symbolic tribe, but lack consistency in the scaffolding to hang your approach to the New Testament, read listen to all sorts of mental "ka-chunks", the concepts are in place. Your time will not be in vain.
Bart Ehrman has become the patron saint (if you'll pardon the expression) of the Bible skeptics. In a series of best-sellers has applied his considerable academic talent to expose the Bible as a very human element of work – both the horror of those who still believe that is the inerrant word of God. But Jesus stopped, not addressed to a skeptical public, but in the middle of the Christian Church. The premise of the book is this: more than 200 years of biblical studies has shown that the Bible is full of contradictions, inconsistencies, false claims of authorship and conflicting views of theology. Preachers know these difficulties in the divinity school. But rarely, if ever such preachers share this knowledge with their congregations. Ehrman stated purpose in writing this book is to "let the cat out of the bag" and disclose these results to a wider academic audience. The book is useful reading for both Christians and skeptics, but it's definitely a job application, and readers who are familiar with the subject, it is unlikely to find much new material. Moreover, the Christians, whose knowledge of the Bible is only the Sunday school classes will be the foundation of their faith shaken if not shattered.
The only objection I have with the book is that not all who fulfill the promise of the subtitle of "revealing the hidden contradictions in the Bible." Because there are two chapters dealing with contradictions – especially the celebrities who are readily available in A list of internet different but Ehrman offers more background and analysis of typical Web page will provide. Other chapters deal with issues of pseudonyms (ie, false) of the author, historical knowledge (or lack) of Jesus, and the development of the biblical canon. Readers seeking a more specific discussion of the contradictions in the Bible can also be considered that the atheist Introduction to the New Testament: How the Bible undermines the basic teachings of Christianity by Mike Davis, or The Encyclopedia of Bible err by Dennis McKinsey .
