Bart Ehrman on Coast to Coast AM Tomorrow Night
Posted by MSH under: Bible; Manuscripts and Textual criticism; Textual Criticism .
In case you like late-night talk radio, you might want to tune in. The C2C site has a list of affiliates by state to catch the show.
I’ve been on C2C many times. The host for this one will be Ian Punnett. Ian is a seminary grad (went to both Univ of Chicago Div school and Columbia in SC). He will make the material interesting. I’ve emailed him with some resources to (hopefully) present a balanced interview. But then there’s Bart. Bart is a very capable scholar, but he doesn’t have much time for things like logic and even-handedness in analyzing data. That’s unfortunate, since the result is that he often commits paleobabble-ological sins (hey, a new word!).
In case some of you have not bothered to keep up with Bart Ehrman’s less-than-charitable view of the text fo the NT, here are some resources:

This last link below is especially important, since it is produced by the most widely trafficked (and easily the most scholarly) textual criticism blog on the internet:
Enjoy!
One Comment so far...

paleobabble-ological As soon as I wrap my tongue around it I may adopt this.
Bart saddens me I find it hard to listen to him, but have to for something he says or writes always seems to show up in the next question and answer segment.
Thanks for the heads-up.
