Just how many ways can one person explain how Jesus' death and resurrection saves humanity?

In the case of the Apostle Paul, the answer is probably more than you think.

Why explain it one way when you can confuse everyone and use exactly the same turns to mean totally different things?

Today, Dr. Bart Ehrman is here to clear things up for me, and hopefully for you too.

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.

Hello everyone, welcome back to misquoting Jesus. Today we are talking about the Apostle Paul's views on salvation.

And I'm doing, visiting all of my siblings and both sets of parents. And it's going to be a bit of a whirlwind. But I'm looking forward to it. It will be a lot of fun. Good. Yeah. Okay. So salvation, which you think is going to be relatively straightforward.

You know, how does humanity become right with God and become saved and all this stuff?

It's actually not terribly straightforward when we're talking about the Apostle Paul.

So to begin with, whereabouts in the New Testament does Paul lay out his views of salvation?
