What Does It Mean to Write a Popular Book?
Misquoting Jesus with Bart Ehrman
10/03/23 • 45 min
Most scholars write books and articles for other scholars, using jargon and presupposing knowledge available only to experts trained in their discipline. But some scholars write books designed for popular audiences about their fields of expertise.
Can non-scholars write books like that? Should they try? Why do most scholars choose not to do so? Are there pitfalls in trying to communicate complex knowledge in simple terms? Is it possible to do so without "dumbing it down"? And why do so many academics look down on fellow-scholars who try to do so?

Telling God What He Can Do
Misquoting Jesus with Bart Ehrman
11/28/23 • 36 min
For a religion that claims to view their god as the most powerful, supreme being in the universe, some Christians have an interesting habit of placing restrictions on what he can and can’t do.
God can’t make a world without suffering, he has to inspire a collection of written texts (that have no mistakes in them), and he certainly can’t be sympathetic to anyone who practices other religion. But where do these limitations come from, and what purpose do they serve? In short: who says?

A Giant Jesus and a Walking-Talking Cross: The Fascinating Gospel of Peter
Misquoting Jesus with Bart Ehrman
09/19/23 • 48 min
One of the most intriguing non-canonical Gospels to be discovered in modern times is the Gospel of Peter. Unlike the New Testament Gospels, which were written anonymously (only later to be given the titles Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John), this Gospel actually claims to be written by an apostle, Jesus' own right-hand man, Peter.
The account we have is only fragmentary, an alternative version of Jesus' trial, death, and resurrection. And what an account it is, involving an actual record of Jesus emerging from his tomb at his resurrection, as tall as a mountain, followed, from the tomb by a walking-talking cross.
What is this fascinating account really all about, and why did someone write it, falsely claiming to be the disciple Peter?

Why Isn't Christianity a Doomsday Cult?
Misquoting Jesus with Bart Ehrman
10/10/23 • 44 min
If Jesus was an apocalyptic prophet, then why isn't mainstream, modern Christianity an apocalyptic religion? Was the move away from apocalypticism deliberate, and are modern doomsday preachers actually closer to preaching Jesus' message than other churches?

The Omnipresent Fear of Death
Misquoting Jesus with Bart Ehrman
10/31/23 • 43 min
As far back as we have literary reports -- beginning with the Epic of Gilgamesh, our earliest surviving narrative, written centuries before the oldest accounts of the Bible -- humans have feared death more than almost anything.
Many people fear the process of dying; others fear facing eternal torment; yet others fear the void, the idea of non-existence.
In this episode we talk about ancient reflections on death and about why some stalwart souls insisted that in fact there was nothing to fear.
