MISREPRESENTING JESUS: Debunking Bart D. Ehrman's "Misquoting Jesus" Paperback – 2 Oct. 2019

A sometimes complex area has been made very palatable and enjoyable to read. Dare I say even quite exciting!As a Bible student I was very encouraged by the authors intent and candidness regarding his writing this book. There is a lot of misinformation regarding the NT and the Gospels therein. Such has produced doubts in many people, resulting in the scriptures being rejected as authentic and trustworthy, let alone 'inspired' of God.Bart D. Ehrman is the most prolific and well-known writer in descrediting the NT writings.Yet from the outset the Author gives an interesting, clear overview of his background and some scholarly circles with a similar opinion to his,and encourages Bible students to be properly informed on the issues so we can evaluate from a position of knowledge such critical works.The book includes an overview of the journey of the Bible and its translation. From the Dark Ages when scholarship and learning were almost locked down, with the less accurate but prominent Textus Receptus. To the Restoration Period when the doors were opened to view the best manuscripts as they were discovered, and the freedom to search and restore with accuracy the NT authors words.As with other works i have read from this Author. There are much useful references for further reading if one wishes to do so.

Don't let yourself be one of the many people who've been fooled by Ehrman (and think they're intelligent know-alls as a result). This is both scholarly and accessible, and contains enough general information that it's worth having even if you're not dealing with Ehrman drones.

Having read several of Ehrman’s books I thought it would be interesting to get the view from the other side. I was very disappointed with this book. Where Ehrman’s style is very readable and logical, Andrews fails to present a coherent discussion. Repetition, lack of editing and a very poor and often illogical layout make this very difficult to read. I get the impression that the author thinks that if he says things enough times with conviction then it must be true. He needs to take time to back up his arguments and cut out the repetition. The publisher should have provided a better editor. I hope there are better defences of the Christian faith available.
