  • Is Jesus For Non-Christians, Too?
    Dec 17 2024

    Most Christians would likely agree that Jesus and the Gospels provide us with guidance for how we should be living our lives. People of non-Christian faith traditions, or those with no religious belief at all, might have a somewhat different response...but our guest today, Dr. Amy-Jill Levine, is here to talk about how non-Christians can find value in Jesus and the Gospels, and why they should take another look at the New Testament!

  • Was Jesus Really Born in Bethlehem?
    Dec 10 2024

    Most of us know the story: Jesus was born in Bethlehem but grew up in Nazareth. Both Matthew and Luke agree on this, but key details raise questions for scholars.

    Join Bart Ehrman and Megan Lewis as they dive into why the Gospel writers placed Jesus’ birth in Bethlehem. Was it historical fact or shaped by theology? Why does Luke have Mary travel 100 miles while pregnant? And why does Matthew’s story send the family fleeing to Egypt?

historical background

I really enjoy listening to the history and politics of those days. not sure why Bart doesn't believe in God but he certainly knows the new testament forward and backwards.

I'm a Dr. SupErhman Super Fan

I read my first Dr. Ehrman book about 15 years ago, and I have read everything he's written since. While he didn't cause my own personal transition away from Christianity, his scholarship, knowledge, and ease of explanation made me feel comfortable about my transition. Even for a devotee like me, I have learned from this podcast.

Thank you, Bart, for sharing this knowledge.

This really is must listen radio for anyone living in the Western side of the world. Want to know why? Listen and find out!

A podcast worth listening to for a deeper understanding of Jesus & the Bible

Dr. Erhman provides a knowledgeable guide to a complex, highly fragmented religion. The podcast, hosted by Megan Lewis provides a deep dive into Christianity & the Bible - a subject that has influenced our past, present & likely future. Highly recommended.

An excellent talk on the NRSVue

Jennifer Knut was on the committee that updated the NRSV, already the standard academic English version of the Bible. She talks about the word duos (slave/servant), as well as the problems the committee faced.

Fascinating podcast based on historical information

Dr. Ehrman provides a deep historical knowledge-based and logical approach to biblical stories. It’s a must listen for anyone exploring what facts are available from 2 millennia ago and the investigation into the circumstantial data to determine the events that most likely occurred and what was believed at that time.

My favorite religious studies podcast. Actually my favorite anything podcast.

I’ve read & listened to dozens of religious scholars and Bart Ehrman is my absolute favorite. I’ve read everything he’s written but these conversations are just something you can’t get in a book. Highly recommend for people on the whole religious spectrum. It’s definitely in depth on topics you won’t get from any pew. And the current research discussed is great for atheists, agnostics, and even, or especially, practicing Christians who want to understand the history and context of the book that shaped western civilization and our current culture.

Excellent and knowledgeable

Bart presents the latest scholarship about the Bible and Jesus in a way that’s clear to the general public. He is neither pro nor anti Christian. He is so popular because he is so reliable.

Not Christian

False . His opinion is clearly secular deception. He is making his best effort to deny everything Christian's believe to be true.
