Title: Not a lot of new ground covered (or uncovered) here...
Review: I had high hopes for Bart Ehrman's book, but any lay student of modern Christian scholarship will have read or heard most of this before. It's not that Ehrman's angle isn't interesting; it's just that others have covered the same ground before, and perhaps made a more compelling case.Yes, the Bible is full of errors but mostly small and inconsequential ones. That is the inevitable conclusion after reading Ehrman, yet that is NOT the conclusion we are expecting when we read his confessional introduction.In fact, Ehrman's "evolution" from hard-line literal fundamentalist to a more liberal, scholarly approach to Scripture is probably the most interesting aspect of the book. However, the impact of his discoveries is never really apparent in any section beyond the intro.Overall, the scholarship is good, yet I simply can't recommend as it's a tough read that really doesn't go far enough.
