Pennsylvania State University on Demand Program called "Pennsylvania Inside Out," broadcasted WPSU Producer Patty Satalia interviewing Professor Bart D. Ehrman about his book "Misquoting Jesus: The Story Behind Who Changed the Bible and Why" on March 15, 2007.
Ehrman discusses how the modern Bible was shaped by mistakes and intentional alterations that were made by early scribes who copied the texts. He explains how he came to understand this process 30 years ago, it shifted his way of thinking about the Bible and where it took him.
Her further explains in the interview how he enjoyed reading "The Da Vinci Code," but he also immediately noticed factual errors ("howlers," he calls them). Issues such as the role Constantine played in the formation of the Bible and the evidence for Jesus' marriage to Mary Magdalene-Ehrman gives readers a lesson in how the Bible is scrutinized by scholars, without a theological wrist-slap.
