This is the second of Ehrman's books I have read - I plan to read many more. My first exposure to his work was his book God's Problem: How the Bible Fails to Answer Our Most Important Question-Why We Suffer in which he addressed the thorny topic of human suffering in the context of a loving God. I found it to be both intellectually honest and it provided comprehensive coverage the many ways, throughout history, that theologians and philosophers have attempted to explain this apparent contradiction. I found this book, “Misquoting Jesus: The Story Behind Who Changed the Bible & Why” to be similarly honest, though not as comprehensive. Nonetheless, it was both very accessible and thoroughly enlightening.
