We've been talking a lot about the revolutionary message of altruism in Jesus' teachings recently,

but how do we know what the historical Jesus actually taught?

Today, Dr Bart Ehrman joins me to discuss exactly how scholars reconstruct his message.

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. Welcome back everybody to

misquoting Jesus. Today we are talking about how we know, or think we know, what Jesus actually said.

We've also got our bonus segment, listeners questions at the end, where I ask Bart if the book

of Revelation talks about

climate change. But before we get into all of that, how are you today? Well, that'll be good.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to that. Yeah, so yeah, I'm doing well. I've been up in Michigan for a

couple weeks and I'm heading, heading back home tomorrow, gratefully and thankfully.

And so, but things are, things are good.

And the only thing I'm finding is that I thought when I retired, I'd have like tons of time.

Yeah, yeah, no, no.

Sarah told me, yeah, you're not going to have any time, but it's just like, you know, look, it's just it ain't in you. Oh, no, sure I will. Yeah, no, I don't.

Take up fishing and go hiking more often. No.

Well, they'll go hiking more often is definitely something I want to, you know, so I do walk every day.

And we have nice woods across the street from us, so I can actually do some nice walks,

but still, not enough time.
