These are informative and educational lectures providing insight into the Bible not opinions. 'This is my third course, and I can’t wait for more. The lectures were exactly what I hoped for - providing perspective, history, and context to help understand the contradictions, and confounding realities within these writings.' Stephen Fox 'When I saw Bart Ehrman was providing instruction on the origins of the Old Testament, I was excited to get his scholarly perspective. He is insightful, lucid, and clear in his objective of historical examination of Bible sources.' Scott Cassingham Again, brilliantly made!' Bill Sutherland We all thought Bart was a NT scholar but now we realize that one can’t fully understand the NT without understanding the OT. His scholarship is impeccable and he's just plain so much fun to listen to!' Karen Weiland 'Bart brings entirely new insights into the history, myths, and legends of Genesis. 'It was so interesting to hear about the criteria historical researchers use and impressive to learn what an objective approach can teach us! Who knew!! The course is a very professional production and a great value. Whether you've never read the Bible or can read it in Hebrew, you're bound to expand your thinking.' Stacey Morris

I won't give away the best parts, but some of his insights are transformative. 'Mesmerizing! Professor Ehrman's presentation and breadth of knowledge are astounding.

An individual who believes that he has found all the answers, which is a very dangerous attitude to adopt in his field.In the Beginning: History, Legend, and Myth in Genesis I do not want to form an opinion for you about Dr Ehrman, but it was very clear from his lectures and talking with him that he is a very arrogant individual. Look at it this way, he is basically someone who gets paid to make educated guesses about a people and culture who he can only study through ancient documents. Many of his arguments, while interesting and generally well thought out, are often based on assumptions and personal opinions. More often than not, he often blatantly ignores the things that contradict what he is saying. Dr Ehrman is a brilliant man who is very good at what he does, but he is also very good at manipulating 'facts' to say what he wants them to say. I took one of Dr Ehrman's classes at UNC Chapel Hill.
