MQJ in the Christian Science Monitor

Powell’s Books - Review-a-Day - Peter, Paul, and Mary Magdalene: The Followers of Jesus in History and Legend by Bart D. Ehrman, reviewed by Christian Science Monitor

With his divorce from literalism, the author doesn’t appear to have grappled much with the sense of the power of the Spirit that pervades the New Testament. He views Jesus and his three major followers as “apocalypticists” who expected the kingdom to come in the very near future and “return the earth to its original paradisiacal state.” And it did not.

A telling review from the Christian Science Monitor.
