If the accounts of Jesus' life found in the four Gospels contain contradictions, how can we know what the historical Jesus actually said and did?

Dr. Bart Ehrman explains how scholars sought historical truth from theological fiction.

Welcome to misquoting Jesus with Bart Ehrman.

The only show where a six-time New York Times bestselling author and world-renowned Bible scholar

uncovers the many fascinating, little-known facts about the New Testament, the historical Jesus,

and the rise of Christianity.

I'm your host, Megan Lewis.

Let's begin.

Have you ever wondered how Jesus' message of repentance and preparing for the kingdom of God

somehow turned into the Christian message of, we must believe in Jesus for eternal life?

It's Chris Huntley, and I'm on the Barterman team and that's the question

that Bart's going to be answering in his upcoming talk for the new insights into the New Testament

conference titled, A Core Teaching of Jesus and Why His Followers Abandoned it. That's just one of the 13

fascinating talks that we have on the historical Jesus coming up this September 26 through

the 28th. Besides the talks, we've also got additional events like attendee mixers, roundtable

panels, and the chance to meet the scholars. If you're a misquoting Jesus fan and you want

to support the show, joining us at NIT would be a fantastic way to do that. We're offering two specials in August.

One of them is early bread pricing throughout the month, and the second is we're giving away a

N-I-N-T journal to anyone who signs up at the elite level. So if you want to learn more or register
