I wrote a letter to Dr. Craig Blomberg of the Denver Seminary in response to his review of Bart Ehrman’s “Misquoting Jesus” and the two letters follow:

Dear Mr. Blomberg:

I want to thank you for your sober and enlightening review of Dr. Ehrman’s new book Misquoting Jesus. I read that Ehrman stated that his publisher’s wanted the name of the book changed to as to sell more copies. I presume, as you inferred, to appear more conspiratorial. I think we can agree that the real evil here is a publisher that decides a deceptive title will sell more units.

I consider myself to be a secular humanist and I find that when books such as this are published, others of my ilk proclaimed it as an almost revolutionary text proving the Bible to be uninspired. I believe your analysis is very grounding and helpful in my attempt to weigh evidence accurately and as balanced as possible

ehrman,
