Utilizing new, original research, a "New York Times"-bestselling author examines the books of the New Testament, revealing that the Gospels may not have been written by members of Jesus' inner circle, but by later writers with differing agendas in rival communities.
The Untold Story of Forgery in the Bible
In "Forged," leading Bible authority Bart D. Ehrman exposes one of the most unsettling ironies of the early Christian tradition: the use of deception to establish the truth. With the scholarly expertise and provocative claims for which he's known, Ehrman reveals which texts were forged in the name of Jesus's disciples and considers how the deceptions of an unnamed few have prevailed for centuries. The untold story of widespread forgery in the ancient world sheds new light on how documents of scandalous origin became part of the Bible we have today.
