Bart is an incredibly fair, incredibly easy to follow scholar of the new testament and this podcast consistently gets me thinking hard about the Bible
I have been a fan of Dr. Ehrman for quite some time, reading many of the books he has authored. But just recently came upon the podcast and I just wanted to take a moment to thank him and Megan for what is proving to be another excellent source for a scholarly study of the bible and other assorted and sundry ancient texts. I also really enjoy the lessons about the history concerning the peoples and cultures in biblical times. Very fascinating! Please keep up the great work!

The truth claims you have issue with are now vividly clear to you as you have cracked the code going a layer deeper. ‘Look it goes deeper!’ you cry as you declare the truth midway into the cave. Those Christians think they know the truth ‘but I know the truth’ you say laughing self depr... more
I'm no scholar, didn't do especially well at school, but they make such an interesting topic accessible in a fun and enlightening way. I so appreciate it. I've listened to episodes over and over and always will.
