Sin and salvation are two incredibly important concepts for Christians, both ancient and modern.

But exactly what is sin and how does one attain salvation?

Today Dr Bart Ehrman joins me to discuss what the Apostle Paul has to say about the topic

and how that compares to what modern Christians believe. Welcome to Misquoting Jesus with Bart Ehrman. The only show where a six-time New York

Times best-selling 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 everyone to misquoting Jesus, where today we are talking about sin and salvation.

We've also got our bonus segment, Scholar Spotlight at the end, where I ask Bart to tell us about a biblical scholar Heathen Street we should take a look at.

But before both of those things, how are you?

Yep, I'm doing well, thanks.

I'm able now to start working on my next book project.

Now that I've retired, I can actually do some research, and so I'm reading extensively on the topic I've read about for 40, 50 years and 50 years,

the formation of the canon of the New Testament.

But coming up with ideas that you wouldn't find in most of these other canon books.

And so very excited is the best time of writing a book early on when you don't have to actually be writing.

Just thinking.

It's just the reading part of the writing.

Reading and writing.

How are you doing?

Yeah, very well.
