Misquoting Jesus

"Misquoting Jesus" by Bart Ehrman explores how various alterations, errors, and intentional changes in early manuscript copies of the New Testament have affected its text over centuries. These modifications, often made by scribes, can influence the interpretation and understanding of Jesus’s teachings and actions. Ehrman emphasizes that the process of copying texts by hand led to inconsistencies, and some changes were made intentionally to support certain theological views. The book highlights the importance of understanding these textual variations to grasp the historical and religious context of the Bible more accurately.
