Bart Ehrman is James A. Gray Professor and Chair of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and the author of two dozen books in the fields of New Testament and Early Christianity.
"In sum, this book is a fine work of scholarship --innovative,
judicious, alert, attentive both to its overarching argument and to
the supportive details. . . Ehrman's work is provocative and should
give rise to further reflection. I believe it will make a
significant contribution to scholarship in both New Testament and
early Christian history for a long time to come."
--Church History

Religion
"Ehrman's is a good book, and one which deserves the attention of
scholars"--Reviews in Religion and Theology
"[Ehrman's] arguments throughout deserve our attention; they are
frequently compelling....Clearly set out and persuasively
presented....Variants that treat of Christ's person and function
must from now on always be considered with reference to Ehrman's
thesis."--Novum Testamentum
"This book is highly recommended as an excellent work of
scholarship that is of great importance in the development of New
Testament studies. Here is a new voice that addresses some of the
central theological and historical issues."--Journal of Theological
Studies

thoroughly recommend this book for its textual and theological
interest and for its readability."--Irish Theological Quarterly
"[A] detailed and carefully documented study."--Religious Studies
Review
"This is a book well worth reading. The New Testament scholar will
find in it an excellent study of textual criticism, systematically
organized under the rubric of scribal Tendenzen. The systematic
theologian as well as the student of early Christian thought will
find in it an excellent expose of the fashion in which conviction
colors the way in which one reads the tradition."--Journal of Early
Christian Studies

"Ehrman's study is convincing and a valuable addition to our
knowledge of textual variants, especially those which have to do
with the early Christological controversies. The book is carefully
planned and in all respects attractive and precise. Ehrman's style
facilitates the study of this problem. An extensive bibliography is
included."--Neotestamentica
"[A] fine study....[A] rich and well-documented study. Ehrman's
work will certainly be of interest to serious text critics, but
also to students of the hisroty of early Christianity generally.
His effort to implicate the stidy of the text in the history of
early Christian controversies will enrich both disciplines."--The
Catholic Biblical Quarterly
"Brilliant analysis....Ehrman shows incredible breadth in working
with the materials and has a clear methodological
framework."--Rollin A. Ramsaran, Emmanuel School of Religion
"An excellent way for students to get a readable introduction to
the complexities of textual criticism and its importance for the
development of tradition."--Michael L. Cook,S.J.,Gonzaga
University
"The goal of the book is to investigate how scribes modified the
words of Scripture that key inherited."--New Testament Abstracts
