Much Ado About Typos

Misquoting Jesus: The Story Behind Who Changed the Bible and Why
by Bart D. Ehrman
HarperSanFrancisco, 2005
(242 pages, $24.95, hardcover)

reviewed by Denny Burk

Stewart is just one of the many figures in the popular media who lined up to interview Bart Ehrman about his controversial book, Misquoting Jesus: The Story Behind Who Changed the Bible and Why. I would wager that the book’s heady subject matter (text criticism) normally receives very little airtime on Comedy Central.
