Sotto falso nome. Verità e menzogna nella letteratura cristiana antica

. Bart Ehrman is a legitimate scripture scholar who began as a fundamentalist at the Moody Bible Institute and who is now an agnostic teaching at Chapel Hill. He is scrupulously accurate and typically fair-minded, but he does have an ax to grind: he is a man who feels he has been deceived by lies and Leggi tutto

Timely. <--for me My husband (a Christian that I love) was showing me this clip of a show that his colleague said was a must-watch . The Chosen. Which is apparently a fictionalized tv show of Jesus' life. In the clip I saw, there was some disciple following him around writing down what he said and I Leggi tutto

Out of the 27 books of the New Testament, 10 might have been forged works --- depending on which biblical scholar you talked to. 3. Some modern-day scholars o Leggi tutto
