In a real sense, Jesus, Interrupted is an “in your face” book for those who have a high regard for the Bible. What the book does is put many of these well known examples in one place, laid out so anyone reading the Bible has to face up to them. As Ehrman points out, these issues go back centuries-and the positions he defends have been advocated for a few centuries.

It packages what scholars have been saying about issues in the Bible in a very public way for two decades.

This is a 10 out of 10 course!' Mike C.Bart Ehrman’s Jesus, Interrupted by his own admission says nothing new. Ehrman's books and as usual, his depth of knowledge of the topic is excellent and well prepared. 'This was a very good course and it was very well presented. 'Enjoyed it very much! Chris Huntley orchestrated it superbly, and Bart did his usual informative teaching job. This course is full of great insights for believers and non-believers alike but perhaps mostly for Christians who are less familiar with the Old Testament than they would like to be.' Anthony Dominello Ehrman is most known as a New Testament scholar, but he's well-studied in the Old Testament as well. These are informative and educational lectures providing insight into the Bible not opinions. 'This is my third course, and I can’t wait for more. The lectures were exactly what I hoped for - providing perspective, history, and context to help understand the contradictions, and confounding realities within these writings.' Stephen Fox

'When I saw Bart Ehrman was providing instruction on the origins of the Old Testament, I was excited to get his scholarly perspective. He is insightful, lucid, and clear in his objective of historical examination of Bible sources.' Scott Cassingham Again, brilliantly made!' Bill Sutherland We all thought Bart was a NT scholar but now we realize that one can’t fully understand the NT without understanding the OT. His scholarship is impeccable and he's just plain so much fun to listen to!' Karen Weiland 'Bart brings entirely new insights into the history, myths, and legends of Genesis. 'It was so interesting to hear about the criteria historical researchers use and impressive to learn what an objective approach can teach us! Who knew!! The course is a very professional production and a great value. Whether you've never read the Bible or can read it in Hebrew, you're bound to expand your thinking.' Stacey Morris I won't give away the best parts, but some of his insights are transformative. 'Mesmerizing! Professor Ehrman's presentation and breadth of knowledge are astounding. In the Beginning: History, Legend, and Myth in Genesis
