Jesus Before the Gospels: How the Earliest Christians Remembered, Changed, and Invented Their Stories of the Savior
10 hrs. 28 min.
Description
From this book you’ll learn where stories about the life of Jesus of Nazareth—later included in the canonical Gospels—came from, how they were passed down orally for decades before being recorded in sacred texts, and whether we can trust memory of them as reliable testimony.
World-famous Bible and early Christianity scholar Bart Ehrman draws on the newest research in ancient culture, early Christianity, the mechanisms of memory, and how the brain works. He explains how and why recollections of Jesus’s life and death changed over time—before the Church, built in his name, appeared and grew.
