What I like about his approach is that it's theologically neutral. He isn't telling anyone to either "believe" or "not believe" in the Bible as a sacred text.
If he does take a position regarding the Gospels, it's that each Gospel has its own specific story to tell, and that if you mash them up to make them into a single narrative, incorporating elements from each, you've essentially created a new Gospel.
He notes how disinterested too many theologians are in Biblical scholarship.

@stevecuddles he spoke aramaic

I think People should consider Islam as the Quran is still recited in its original language

I think that conclusion is based on two things. First of all, Jesus was a Jew with no special education. There is no reason that he should have been able to speak Greek. Secondly, the people he was speaking to were mostly Jews, who wouldn't have understood him if he was speaking Greek. If you want, I guess you could say that he was miraclulously speaking in a foreign tongue, but that the author didn't think it was worth mentioning.

why are people giving the quran second look? has it been changed? ofcourse not, see for yourself !

He didn't draw that conclusion from his earlier assumption, that jesus probably didn't speak greek. It's actually pure logic: Both Nikodemus and Jesus were jews and most probably spoke aramaic as everyday language and hebrew as scholarly language. Why would they converse in greek, which would be a foreign language for both? Nikodemus was a Pharisee; the Pharisees were a radical anti-Hellenistic movement among the jewish population. He most certainly would have refused to speak greek...

This was awsome, thanks! Even though I studied christianity at university for 18 months, this perhaps gave me a deeper insight in many parts of NT than my professors did. Please accept my subscription...

After listening to the whole thing and believe me he is not the first guy iv heard with these mistakes, and changes made to the bible I can firmly say that its sad that people actually can believe the bible as the word of god. but don't lose hope people cuz god is great and if you really seek the truth reasearch other scriptures and u will see what i mean :)

I am a Muslim, i owe all non Muslims a message of truth:
there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah and Mohammad is his last prophet and messenger and Jesus is Allah's prophet,his messenger,his word to the virgin Mariam an a spirit from the almighty Allah, may peace, blessings and prayers be on all of them.
If the bible is proven not to be Divine, then it's your obligation to look else where about the true message of the Messiah son of Mariam,search in the holy Quran,you will be guided.
is Bart Ehrman a muslim?

I'm curious as to what Bart bases this claim that Jesus did not speak Greek. Several times in the Gospels Jesus conversed with people who spoke Greek as their native Language (Centurion, and Pontius Pilate). All of the correspondence from the first century we have access to is written in Greek. Greek was a universal language. Also, the NT specifically points out certain phrases in Aramaic, when it is difficult to translate that phrase in Greek.

The person in the above video is not some street rat, nor is he a layman. He is a professor who spent his life in studying history of Christianity and Bible, and he is not only a professor but the head of department of religious studies at University of North Carolina.
