Welcome to Miss Quoting 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.

Today on misquoting Jesus with Bart Ehrman, we cover the basics of the canonical Gospels.

What are they? Why were they written? And by whom? But before we do that, Bart,

hello, how are you doing today? Yeah, I'm doing well.

Got friends coming over for dinner tonight.

So when we're done recording this, I'm off to cook a lasagna.

It's not mine, actually, it's Moosewood, but I wamp it up a bit.

And it's fantastic.

I don't know why you. I love a good lasagna.

You know Moosewood cookbook?

I don't know.

Oh, my God. I like old cookbooks, though. My mom has some fantastic recipes from cookbooks that were my grandmothers.

Well, I've got some from the 1940s. It's really interesting to read American cookbooks, you know, when there wasn't much food around. How you make a T-Bone steak when there's no no stakes. It's not like you make it look like one. But yeah, this isn't an old like that. This is old like, you know, in 1980s. It's kind of the beginning of funky, interesting cooking. Very nice. How are you doing? Similarly, actually, I just started a chicken curry before we started recording. So that's simmering away in the kitchen.

Chicken curry. Okay. So this is the English you knew because, you know, you used to be in England,

the only really good food was Indian. It is still the case. Unless you are a fan of roast meats,

in which case, there are some decent ones, but no. Although it has gotten much better in England now.

They don't boil their vegetables to death anymore.

My grandmother, rest her soul, did definitely boil vegetables until they were very, very dead.

Okay, yeah, okay.
