Summary of Bart D. Ehrman's Jesus, Interrupted

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The Bible is the most widely purchased, extensively read, and deeply revered book in the history of Western Civilization. It is also the most thoroughly misunderstood, especially by the lay reading public.

#2 The Bible is often studied in seminaries, and the students there are typically theological students who have been raised in churches and have a strong devotion to the Bible. However, many of them do not know how to approach the Bible from a more academic perspective.

#3 The American Protestant seminaries are known for their challenging approach to the Bible, which is the historical-critical method. It is completely different from the devotional approach to the Bible that is taught in church.

#4 The historical-critical method is difficult to accept for many seminarians, who come in with the expectation of learning the pious truths of the Bible so that they can pass them along in their sermons. Instead, they learn that the Bible is filled with discrepancies, many of which are irreconcilable contradictions.
