<p> The Human Story Behind the Divine Book </p> <p> In this <i>New York Times</i> bestseller, leading Bible expert Bart Ehrman skillfully demonstrates that the New Testament is riddled with contradictory views about who Jesus was and the significance of his life. Ehrman reveals that many of the books were written in the names of the apostles by Christians living decades later, and that central Christian doctrines were the inventions of still later theologians. Although this has been the standard and widespread view of scholars for two centuries, most people have never learned of it. </p> <p> <i>Jesus, Interrupted</i> is a clear and compelling account of the central challenges we have when attempting to reconstruct the life and meaning of Jesus. </p>
