I read this post on my Professors blog, thought it was quite amusing!
When Bart Ehrman was introduced today at one of the text crit sessions (in honor of Eldon Jay Epp), the chairman said,
Prof. Ehrman is best known for misquoting Jesus and, more recently, interrupting him.
Although it was intended humorously, I think it was more true than the chairman intended.
Read Misquoting Jesus a few years ago, will have to look for Jesus Interrupted as a follow up. Ehrman is usually a good read. His own story is a great example of how a misguided emphasis on inerrancy as a foundation for faith can destroy it.
