Über diesen Titel

Bart D. Ehrman, the New York Times bestselling author of Jesus, Interrupted and God’s Problem reveals which books in the Bible’s New Testament were not passed down by Jesus’s disciples, but were instead forged by other hands—and why this centuries-hidden scandal is far more significant than many scholars are willing to admit. A controversial work of historical reporting in the tradition of Elaine Pagels, Marcus Borg, and John Dominic Crossan, Ehrman’s Forged delivers a stunning explication of one of the most substantial—yet least discussed—problems confronting the world of biblical scholarship.

Bart Ehrman's excellent book confronts the readers with an interesting paradox:

Why did early Christian authors forge and edit texts for their audience, even though a central and fundamental message of Jesus is: "The truth shall set you free" (John 8:32) ?

Ehrman concludes:
"Ethicists, philosophers, and religious scholars all disagree, even today, on when lying is appropriate and when it is not. At the end of the day, this is a question that each and every one of us needs to decide for ourselves, based on our own circumstances and the specific situations we find ourselves in. Maybe sometimes it is okay to lie.
[...] On the other hand, maybe the authors who forged these texts were wrong. Maybe they should not have tried to deceive their readers. Maybe it is better always to tell the truth, to stand by the truth, to be willing to take the consequences of the truth, even if you would much prefer the consequences of telling the lie.
[...]
Maybe, on the whole, truth is better than lying."

"Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth." (1 John 3:18)

"Maybe, on the whole, truth is better than lying."
