After my previous journal entry on the book “Misquoting Jesus,” I received e-mail from a publishing house, Nimble Books, asking me to take a look at their recent publication, “Misquotes in ‘Misquoting Jesus’“.I got halfway through the PDF on the plane, on the way back from YAPC in Chicago, and it’s a good book. And I don’t say that just because it agrees with most of what I said (except that for the most part it expresses it better, and with more authority).
The author, Dillon Burroughs, emphasizes a few main points, particularly that — as I noted — the author, Bart Ehrman, is mostly correct on the facts he presents, but he simply draws unreasonable conclusions. Burroughs heavily quotes people who have worked with Ehrman and are familiar with his work.
