Biblical scholar Bart Ehrman follows up on his bestselling MISQUOTING JESUS, as he offers more thought-provoking readings of the New Testament writings and writers. Sometimes it is a simple historical question that sets up his arguments--when did the apostles live and when were the books attributed to them composed? Other times he presents an insight into an apostle or group of them that opens up a new train of thought. Ehrman dissolves many of the generally accepted myths that have grown up around these texts over centuries, yet his insights also draw on generally respected, if lesser-known, scholars.

Picking up where Bible expert Bart Ehrman's "New York Times" bestseller "Misquoting Jesus" left off, "Jesus, Interrupted" addresses the larger issue of what the New Testament actually teaches--and it's not what most people think. Here Ehrman reveals what scholars have unearthed:

The authors of the New Testament have diverging views about who Jesus was and how salvation works

The New Testament contains books that were forged in the names of the apostles by Christian writers who lived decades later

Jesus, Paul, Matthew, and John all represented fundamentally different religions

Established Christian doctrines--such as the suffering messiah, the divinity of Jesus, and the trinity--were the inventions of still later theologians

These are not idiosyncratic perspectives of just one modern scholar. As Ehrman skillfully demonstrates, they have been the standard and widespread views of critical scholars across a full spectrum of denominations and traditions. Why is it most people have never heard such things? This is the book that pastors, educators, and anyone interested in the Bible have been waiting for--a clear and compelling account of the central challenges we face when attempting to reconstruct the life and message of Jesus.
