  • What Are the Synoptic Gospels?

    What Are the Synoptic Gospels?
    Oct 1 2024

    The phrase "synoptic gospels" is thrown around a lot in Biblical scholarship, but what does it mean, and why are they important?

    Are they as similar as people seem to think, and what do non-academics get wrong about them? Today, Megan is joined by Dr. Mark Goodacre, professor of Religious Studies and expert in all things synoptic, to answer these questions and to investigate some of his favorite differences between these fascinating texts.

  • Did Early Christians Believe in Reincarnation?

    Did Early Christians Believe in Reincarnation?
    Sep 24 2024

    Many people in the modern western world view reincarnation as a belief predominately from eastern religions - especially buddhism and hinduism.

    Believe it or not, reincarnation was also a theological concept for some early Christians! How does what early Christians taught about reincarnation differ from what we understand it to be?

    Was it a common idea, or did those who espoused it receive pushback and censorship from their fellow Christians?

    Why isn’t reincarnation still a widely held view in Christian circles?

    Where Was Christianity on its 100th Birthday?
    Sep 17 2024

    Welcome everyone to a very special episode of Misquoting Jesus - our 100th episode!

    In keeping with our centesimal celebration (hey, it's a word!), we’re going to be exploring the world of Christianity 100 years after Jesus’ death.

    Was Christianity still a small, persecuted offshoot of apocalyptic Judaism, or had it spread far and wide? Was it still an apocalyptic religion, and what theological disagreements had occurred? Megan has the questions, and Bart, as always, has the answers.

historical background

I really enjoy listening to the history and politics of those days. not sure why Bart doesn't believe in God but he certainly knows the new testament forward and backwards.

I'm a Dr. SupErhman Super Fan

I read my first Dr. Ehrman book about 15 years ago, and I have read everything he's written since. While he didn't cause my own personal transition away from Christianity, his scholarship, knowledge, and ease of explanation made me feel comfortable about my transition. Even for a devotee like me, I have learned from this podcast.

Thank you, Bart, for sharing this knowledge.

This really is must listen radio for anyone living in the Western side of the world. Want to know why? Listen and find out!

A podcast worth listening to for a deeper understanding of Jesus & the Bible

Dr. Erhman provides a knowledgeable guide to a complex, highly fragmented religion. The podcast, hosted by Megan Lewis provides a deep dive into Christianity & the Bible - a subject that has influenced our past, present & likely future. Highly recommended.

An excellent talk on the NRSVue

Jennifer Knut was on the committee that updated the NRSV, already the standard academic English version of the Bible. She talks about the word duos (slave/servant), as well as the problems the committee faced.

Fascinating podcast based on historical information

Dr. Ehrman provides a deep historical knowledge-based and logical approach to biblical stories. It’s a must listen for anyone exploring what facts are available from 2 millennia ago and the investigation into the circumstantial data to determine the events that most likely occurred and what was believed at that time.

My favorite religious studies podcast. Actually my favorite anything podcast.

I’ve read & listened to dozens of religious scholars and Bart Ehrman is my absolute favorite. I’ve read everything he’s written but these conversations are just something you can’t get in a book. Highly recommend for people on the whole religious spectrum. It’s definitely in depth on topics you won’t get from any pew. And the current research discussed is great for atheists, agnostics, and even, or especially, practicing Christians who want to understand the history and context of the book that shaped western civilization and our current culture.

Excellent and knowledgeable

Bart presents the latest scholarship about the Bible and Jesus in a way that’s clear to the general public. He is neither pro nor anti Christian. He is so popular because he is so reliable.

Not Christian

False . His opinion is clearly secular deception. He is making his best effort to deny everything Christian's believe to be true.
