Why is he so dishonest?
I think he does a really good job at being a textual critic, not so much as a higher critic. He has made some interesting insights as a higher critic but I also think he tends to oversimplify things. I also hate when he tries apply higher criticism to the Old Testament as a New Testament scholar lol. Like he certainly knows the New Testament in and out, but he definitely is not as familiar with Old Testament scholarship even though he tries to act like he is. He admitted he can only read Hebrew with the help of a dictionary lol. Certainly not a Hebrew Bible scholar, that's for sure. I do trust his Greek skills, Coptic skills, and yeah his Aramaic skills, though.

>>18517154Why does this guy make christcucks panic? Compared to other scholars his views are relatively mainstream.
>>18518501because he writes for mainstream audiences instead of for scholarly journals they don't readlike most academics who write popular works, he's mostly communicating consensus views, but the field itself terrifies them
>>18517154He isn't dishonest.
>>18518558Fucking how?
>>18518554Define "consensus"
>>18518567He doesn't say anything dishonest.
>>18518554This. Practically everything he says is already widely agreed upon by historians and archeologists. The only reason Christians single him out is because he writes for mainstream audiences.
>>18517154besides softening how he presents his position so he can keep getting that $ from christcucks, how is he dishonest?
>>18518915shut up jew

>>18517154My favorite thing about Ehrman is when people complain about him it's hard to initially tell if the complaint is coming from a Christian or a Carrier fan
>>18517154What's wrong with Ehrman?
>>18517154>>18518501>>18518615Christians should be grateful that at least he considers Jesus as a real person and the religion(s) he inspired as actual genuine religious movements with true believers. He could be some angry and sassy nu-atheist, but he is actually pretty nice to christians as a whole.
>>18518567The guy you’re talking to is also dishonest.
>>18519754How is he dishonest?

>>18519727he’s the jordan peterson of his field
>>18519742In the christcuck mind either you fully become a part of their cult or they will do everything possible to smear your name and hate your guts. The main reason these idiots have a problem with him is because that's the only scholar in the field they have heard of.
