Jesus the Word according to John the Sectarian: A Paleofundamentalist Manifesto for Contemporary ... 3 reviews Robert Horton Gundry
Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 2001
Provocative, must-read for all evangelicals
+ toward an exegetical ecclesiology + Provocative, yes, but the sectarian solution is misguided.
I give this book five stars, not because I agree with everything Gundry says but because it is a message that we need to hear. Not since David F. Wells's No Place for Truth and companion volumes and D. A. Carson's Gagging of God has such a first-rate evangelical scholar provided such poignant and ...

The Orthodox Corruption of Scripture: The Effect of Early Christological Controversies on the Text of the New ... 28 reviews Bart D. Ehrman
Oxford University Press, USA, 1996
Just give me the facts please.
+ Raw research for experts on the shaping of scripture
Looking at bilblical history somewhat forensically is a refreshing way to examine the Bible. Cultural, social, and political, in other words, human perspective lead to an evolving understanding of religion, in general, not just Christianity.

Oxford University Press, USA, 2003

Ehrman surprisingly manages to introduce a sensitive topic in a largely unbiased way without being offensive to the sensibilities of most Christians today. This is a very difficult accomplishment where many other authors failed before. I really appreciated his exposition, and actually learned ...

I finally read this book, after reading his other 2 books on the Tabernacle of David and the Temple of Solomon. I actually read this book amazingly fast, considering how detailed it is. It also probably seemed fast, because it had less pages than the other 2 books, particularly the Temple of ...
