Drew Marshall Show - Jesus Before The Gospels

Professor Bart D. Ehrman joined The Drew Marshall Show as a call in guest on March 12, 2016. The broadcast was recorded from the studio of CJYE based in Oakville, Ontario Canada. Drew Marshall references his latest book "Jesus Before The Gospels: How the Earliest Christians Remembered, Changed, and Invented Their Stories of the Savior" They discuss the surveys research from the fields of psychology, anthropology, and sociology to explore how oral traditions and group memories really work and questions how reliable the Gospels can be. Focusing on the decades-long gap between when Jesus lived and when these documents about him began to appear. The book's compelling narrative not only demonstrates Ehrman’s deep knowledge and meticulous scholarship, but also challenges the historical accuracy of the Gospels and what they tell us about the historical Jesus, the way we read and think about these sacred texts, and how we view history.
