"Misquotes in Misquoting Jesus" 


I've just read Dillon Burroughs' Misquotes in Misquoting Jesus: Why You Can Still Believe, a critical review of Bart Ehrman's Misquoting Jesus: The Story Behind Who Changed the Bible and Why. It was of interest to me in view of the work I've done on the Ehrman-Craig debate. 

I cannot, in good faith, make extensive comments on the book, since I haven't read Ehrman's. I've seen enough information on Ehrman's thesis to know approximately what he's saying, but I don't want to run ahead too far on this. I can certainly say I found Burroughs' book to be fair in its tone, so that I tend to think it represents Ehrman accurately. To the extent that it does, it refutes him effectively. It's well written and informative, well worth recommending.
