    This episode opens with a playful roundtable moment as #MeganLewis and #BartEhrman compare early job experiences—including Bart’s comically short-lived stint as a 12-year-old dishwasher—before diving into one of the most important historical questions about early #Christianity: Why did it take so long for anyone to write down the life and teachings of #Jesus?

    It's widely assumed that all of Jesus' disciples eventually came to believe in his resurrection—but do the #historical records support that? In this two-lecture course, Dr. Ehrman examines the resurrection accounts, exploring the theme of doubt and questioning whether some disciples may never have believed in the resurrection at all.

    Join #Paulogia and Dr. Bart Ehrman for a deep dive into the #contradictions and complexities of the #Christmasstory as told in the #Gospels. Together, they dissect #evangelical defenses, confront harmonization attempts, and explore the darker themes within the #nativity narratives—raising questions about suffering, #salvation, and the literary evolution of these iconic accounts.

  7. As far back as we have literary reports -- beginning with the #EpicofGilgamesh, our earliest surviving narrative, written centuries before the oldest accounts of the #Bible -- humans have feared #death more than almost anything.
    Many people fear the process of #dying; others #fear facing #eternaltorment; yet others fear the void, the idea of #nonexistence.

  8. The Man Who Found 30,000 #Differences in the #Bible (with Dr. #BartEhrman)
    youtube.com/watch?v=-G5V-kWSsc

    An Oxford #Biblescholar named #JohnMill found over 30,000 variants in the extant #Biblical manuscripts in 1707. His published work on this started a controversy that has lasted to this day. #Christian #apologists and non-sectarian #scholars alike can thank Mill for the energy that his work added to their fields.

  9. @DelilahTech That’s a good question, but I’m not totally sure how to answer. I read all kinds of stuff. Tom Robbins is my favorite author, and my favorite book of his is Still Life with Woodpecker. But I also love #DanBrown novels - he’s objectively a terrible writer, but he’s imaginative and crafts compelling storylines. I used to devour books from Red Dress Ink - kind of formulaic novels about 20-something girls who work in PR or publishing or related fields, trying to juggle their careers and their almost always unlucky love lives…”chick lit” I guess you could call it.
    But I’m also a fan of non-fiction - religious history is fascinating to me, both mainstream religions and more cult-like ones. #BartEhrman is a favorite, as is #RezaAslan. I’ve recently developed a fascination with #Judaism and would love to read more about that - fiction or non-fiction.
    Like I said - a bit all over the place. I’m sorry if that’s not terribly helpful! 🙈
