Bart D. Ehrman, the New York Times bestselling author of Jesus, Interrupted and God's Problem reveals which books in the Bible's New Testament were not passed down by Jesus's disciples, but were instead forged by other hands--and why this centuries-hidden scandal is far more significant than many scholars are willing to admit. A controversial work of historical reporting in the tradition of Elaine Pagels, Marcus Borg, and John Dominic Crossan, Ehrman's Forged delivers a stunning explication of one of the most substantial--yet least discussed--problems confronting the world of biblical scholarship.
"Excelente libro del Dr. Bart Ehrman. Muchos de nosotros pensamos que los evangelios fueron escritos por testigos de primera mano, o que todas las epístolas de Pablo son originales. Sin embargo, en este minucioso estudio, se demuestra que todos los escritores del nuevo testamento, a excepción de Pablo, eran campesinos analfabetos de Galilea y que con casi toda seguridad no escribieron una sola letra de la Biblia."
