In this segment, Ehrman discusses how transcription errors were introduced into the many copies of copies of copies of the books of the New Testament. None of the original documents survive.
Ehrman wrote "Misquoting Jesus".
"Bart D. Ehrman is an American New Testament scholar and textual critic of early Christianity.
Ehrman began studying the Bible and its original languages at the Moody Bible Institute and is a 1978 graduate of Wheaton College in Illinois. He received his Ph.D and M.Div. from Princeton Theological Seminary.
He is the James A. Gray Distinguished Professor and Chair of the Department of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He has written about how the original New Testament texts were frequently altered by scribes for a variety of reasons, and argues that these alterations affect the interpretation of the texts.
Ehrman writes about the early Christians, using the term "proto-orthodox" to describe the Christian traditions that would later be defined as orthodox. He describes first- and second-century Christians as not yet having a unified, orthodox tradition."
