Forged: Writing in the Name of God--Why the Bible's Authors Are Not Who We Think They Are
<p>Bart D. Ehrman, the <em>New York Times </em>bestselling author of <em>Jesus, Interrupted </em> and <em>God’s Problem </em>reveals which books in the Bible’s New Testament were not passed down by Jesus’s disciples, but were instead forged by other hands—and why this centuries-hidden scandal is far more significant than many scholars are willing to admit. A controversial work of historical reporting in the tradition of Elaine Pagels, Marcus Borg, and John Dominic Crossan, Ehrman’s <em>Forged </em>delivers a stunning explication of one of the most substantial—yet least discussed—problems confronting the world of biblical scholarship. </p>
