Who Changed the Bible & Why? Diane Rehm Show

The Diane Rehm Show is produced at WAMU 88.5 and distributed by National Public Radio, NPR Worldwide, and SIRIUS satellite radio. Diane Rehm is the host who interviews Bart live on the air on Thursday, December 8, 2005. She titles the radio program, "Who Changed the Bible and Why?" while referencing Bart's book "Misquoting Jesus: The Story Behind Who Changed the Bible and Why."

Professor Bart Ehrman describes how mistakes and intentional changes made by scribes who hand copied the words of Jesus and the writings of Saint Paul have shaped cherished biblical stories and widely held beliefs. How beliefs concerning the divinity of Jesus, the Trinity, and the divine origins of the Bible itself are the results of both intentional and accidental alterations by scribes. He addresses questions about homosexuality as understood in Jesus' time and the holiday Christmas, among other topics.
