About This hardback
Most people today assume that they are reading the very words that Jesus spoke or St. Paul wrote when they consult the New Testament. And yet, for almost 1,500 years manuscripts were copied by hand by scribes who were deeply influenced by the theological and political disputes of their day, and mistakes and intentional changes abound in the competing manuscript versions. Whose Word is It? is the fascinating history of the words themselves. Ehrman shows us where and why changes were made in our earliest surviving manuscripts, changes that continue to have a dramatic impact on widely-held beliefs concerning the divinity of Jesus, the Trinity, and the divine origins of the Bible itself. This is the first time that a leading biblical scholar reveals for the general reader the many challenging early variations of our cherished biblical stories and why only certain versions of those stories qualify for publication in the Bibles we read today.
