Misquoting Jesus

Résumé : Misquoting Jesus by Bart Ehrman argues that the New Testament was altered by scribes through accidental errors and intentional changes over centuries, leading to significant variations from the original texts. Ehrman explains how these changes—made to harmonize accounts, resolve theological disputes, or correct perceived errors—have impacted our modern understanding of Jesus and the Bible. The book is a work of textual criticism that introduces lay readers to the process of determining the most likely original wording of scripture by analyzing different manuscripts.
