Orthodox Corruption of Scripture - Ehrman, Bart D. (James A. Gray Professor and Chair of Religious Studies, James A. Gray Professor and Chair of Religious Studies, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill)

In a study that explores the close relationship between the social history of early Christianity and the textual tradition of the emerging New Testament, Ehrman traces how early struggles between "heresy" and "orthodoxy" affected the transmission of the documents. Ehrman's incisive analysis makes a significant contribution to our understanding of the history of early Christianity.
