When Biblical scholar Ehrman first began to study the texts of the Bible in their original languages, he was startled to discover the multitude of mistakes and intentional alterations that had been made by earlier translators. For almost 1500 years these manuscripts were hand copied by scribes who were influenced by the cultural, theological and political disputes of their day. Both mistakes and intentional changes abound in the surviving manuscripts, making the original words difficult to reconstruct. Ehrman reveals where and why these changes were made and how scholars go about reconstructing the original words of the New Testament as closely as possible. He makes the provocative case that many of our cherished biblical stories and beliefs stem from both intentional and accidental alterations by scribes--alterations that dramatically affected subsequent versions.--From publisher description.… (más)
ehines: Helms deals with the origins of the gospels; Ehrman with the transmission of them. Helms's book is better written and he's got an easier story to tell (the story of finding one origin vs describing a seemingly infinite number of textual variations).
Panairjdde: Il libro di Flores d'Arcais tratta dell'immagine di Gesù e del Cristianesimo delle origini come sorge dall'interpretazione dei testi neotestamentari, ricostruiti così come descritto da Ehrman.
Aun en nuestros días, tras la lectura de un pasaje de la Biblia se suele decir “palabra de Dios”, como si lo que está escrito en el Nuevo Testamento fueran las palabras exactas que pronunció Jesucristo o los textos originales de Pablo de Tarso. En realidad esa “palabra de Dios” es, en muchos casos, solamente palabras de los hombres, porque, a lo largo de mil quinientos años, los diferentes traductores y copistas de la Biblia introdujeron un sinfín de errores accidentales y cambios malintencionados que pasaron a las ediciones impresas. Ahora, por primera vez, el eminente especialista del Nuevo Testamento Bart D. Ehrman (autor de Los cristianismos perdidos) reconstruye los textos originales, nos revela cómo, dónde y por qué fueron manipulados y nos demuestra que muchas de nuestras creencias más profundas sobre la divinidad de Jesús, la Trinidad o los orígenes divinos de la Biblia misma carecen de fundamento documental. Quien lea Jesús no dijo eso nunca volverá a leer, del mismo modo, los evangelios o las epístolas de San Pablo. ( )

Introduction More than almost anything I've ever written about, the subject of this book has been on my mind for the past thirty years, since I was in my late teens and just beginning my study of the New Testament.
To discuss the copies of the New Testament that we have, we need to start at the very beginning with one of the unusual features of Christianity in the Greco-Roman world: its bookish character.

More than anyone else from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, it is to two Cambridge scholars, Brooke Foss Westcott (1825-1901) and Fenton John Anthony Hort (1828-1892), that modern textual critics owe a debt of gratitude for developing methods of analysis that help us deal with the manuscript tradition of the New Testament.

For they, like we, were trying to understand what the authors wrote while also trying to see how the words of the authors' texts might have significance for them, and how they might help them make sense of their own situations and their own lives.
