The difference between right and wrong and the question of how to live a good life has been a matter of debate for millennia.

In the ancient world, different schools of philosophers subscribed to different theories,

but were these discussions something that Jesus would have been aware of?

Today, Dr. Bart Ehrman joins me to discuss ethics in Jesus' time.

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. Our inaugural new insights into the Hebrew

Bible conference is happening March 20th through the 22nd, and I am thrilled to be one of the presenters.

My talk is titled Before in the Beginning, the Creation Myths that shaped Genesis,

and it explores the striking parallels between Genesis and Ancient Mesopotamian creation stories,

showing how those earlier myths helped to shape the biblical account.
