REVIEWS
“This detailed, carefully argued, and thoroughly documented study should be purchased for collections serving faculty and graduate students in New Testament studies and church history.”–Choice

“Bart D. Ehrman has written a book which will stimulate the casual reader and intrigue the academic or professional reader of the New Testament….An excellent work and definitely invaluable for lay or scholars.”–Anglican Theological Review
“a fine summary of Ehrman’s developed thinking and concerns, and as such a valuable contribution to the general discourse on the aims, methods, and limitations of textual criticism.” – Dirk Jongkind, Churchman

Yes, absolutely. The deliberate alteration of NT manuscripts to advance a Christological agenda.
Brother Paul, do you have any posts on Church father writings?
