This is highly recommended for those wanting to know how the Bible was put together and how books were judged to be holy cannon. Erdrich addresses the many early opinions on what defined a Christian and the writings by authors whose beliefs were out of the mainstream. These included the secret knowledge of the Gnostics, and the ideas that Jesus was only human or only God. He also sheds light on certain books whose authorship is not as attributed.

It’s a fascinating story, told clearly and with great scholarship.

This was from the library. I need to purchase a copy and listen to it again, strictly due to the wealth of information.

New Testament scholar Bart D. Ehrman treats the Book of Revelation as an outlier in the New Testament canon, presenting a portrait of Jesus as an angry, vengeful, jealous deity who will destroy most of the human race. The book’s author, John of Patmos, was convinced that Jesus would soon return to destroy the Roman empire, saving only his devoted “slaves,” a word he uses in preference to milder words like servants or followers. Jesus, here, is God’s warrior avatar. He and God are out for blood. The Jesus of love and mercy described by the gospel of John is nowhere to be found. Ehrman agrees with Christopher Frillingos that Revelation is “a frankly imperialist narrative” that predicts the establishment of a Christian empire to replace Rome. Ironically, the new empire will be based on the Roman belief that “wealth and domination can be ultimate goods.” Such an ideology, Ehrman says, is contrary to the Jesus presented in the Gospels, who advocated a life of service to others as the ultimate good.… (mer)

A favorite author has a lot of expectations to meet, and this one did not disappoint. The author takes us through the evolution of the concepts of heaven and hell in Christian theology, starting with the pagans and the Jews. He spends a large portion of the book on the early ideas, and covers the development within Christianity much more succinctly. I think this is a good decision, but mostly because of a personal preference not everyone will agree with: I think the pagan and Jewish ideas of afterlife are more interesting to read about, and society has not been saturated with those ideas for my entire life. The only thing about the book I found offputting is the constant assumption of what Jesus really said or didn't really say. Without contemporary records, there is simply no way to know if he said anything that is attributed to him. I am aware of the methodology that religious scholars use to determine that; as a scientist, I think it's mostly hogwash. Other than that, I highly recommend the book.… (mer)
