Professor Bart D Ehrman claims much of the New Testament was
forged by imposters of apostles Peter, Paul or James.
Professor Ehrman, author of 'Misquoting Jesus' and 'Jesus,
Interrupted', said some religious scholars were well aware of the
'lies' and were happy to acknowledge them.
In his new book , Why the Bible's Authors Are Not Who We Think
They Are, Professor Ehrman claims The Second Epistle of Peter was
forged.
'...scholars everywhere will tell you that there is no way on
earth that Peter wrote the book. Someone else wrote it claiming to
be Peter,' he writes.
He said scholars who say it was acceptable in the ancient world
for someone to write a book in the name of someone else, are
wrong.
Scholars think 6 of the 13 letters allegedly written by Paul
were actually authored by somebody else claiming to be Paul.
Professor Ehrman writes how the Bible is filled with the need
for 'truth' but many of its writers were telling a lie.
