This \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e bestseller reveals how books in the Bible were actually forged by later authors, and that the New Testament itself is riddled with contradictory claims about Jesus—information that scholars know… but the general public does not. If you enjoy the work of Elaine Pagels, Marcus Borg, John Dominic Crossan, and John Shelby Spong, you’ll find much to ponder in \u003cem\u003eJesus, Interrupted\u003c\/em\u003e. | \u003cp\u003ePicking up where Bible expert Bart Ehrman's \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e bestseller \u003cem\u003eMisquoting Jesus\u003c\/em\u003e left off, \u003cem\u003eJesus, Interrupted\u003c\/em\u003e addresses the larger issue of what the New Testament actually teaches—and it's not what most people think.
