In the PBS documentary, From Jesus to Christ, narrated by Elaine Pagels, Ehrman, Karen King, and other secular New Testament scholars, Marcion's role in the formation of the New Testament canon is discussed as pivotal, and the first to explicitly state it.

Ehrman concludes from this that Mary and the others could therefore be thought of as " apostles sent to the apostles ," a title that Mary Magdalene herself came to bear in the Middle Ages ( Latin: apostola apostolorum ).

According to Bart D. Ehrman: " Mary ( Magdalene ) is accorded a high status among the apostles of Jesus.

Bart Ehrman, for example, said:

In his book, Ehrman points out numerous inconsistencies which he finds within the New Testament which appear to support many of his claims, such as the fact that in Acts 4: 13 the statement is made that both Peter and John were illiterate, yet in later years entire books of the Bible were then alleged to have been written by them.

The Mitchells received a pro bono defense from Heller Ehrman White and McAuliffe, which in representing them won a significant victory for the state ’ s press.

In The Orthodox Corruption of Scripture, popular author and text critic Bart D. Ehrman argues that the Adoptionist Theology may date back almost to the time of Jesus and his view is shared by many other scholars.

Ehrman uses this omission to support the notion that the title " Son of God " is not used of Jesus until his baptism, and that Mark reflects an adoptionist view.

" Scholar Bart D. Ehrman says that this confusion is because in Greek ( the language of the gospel ) the word again is ambiguous.

Ehrman writes that this seems to be based on some notion of free will although this argument is never explicitly mentioned in the Bible.

The Ehrman Mansion is a summer home built by a former Wells Fargo president in Sugar Pine Point and is now a state park.

Riccardo Ehrman is sitting on the floor of the stage with the table just behind him.

Ehrman acknowledges many of Marcion's ideas are very close to what is known today as " Gnosticism ", especially its rejection of the Jewish God, the Old Testament, and the material world, and his elevation of Paul as the primary apostle.

Marcionism is discussed in recent textbooks on early Christianity, such as Lost Christianities by Bart Ehrman.

Bart D. Ehrman states that the existence of Jesus and his crucifixion by the Romans is attested to by a wide range of sources, including Josephus and Tacitus.

Bart Ehrman states that the crucifixion of Jesus on the orders of Pontius Pilate is the most certain element about him.

According to Bart Ehrman, this criterion is included in the analysis of contextual credibility, because he believes that Jesus and Nicodemus were speaking in Aramaic.

Jesus ' teachings would later diverge from John's apocalyptic vision ( though it depends which scholarly view is adopted ; according to Ehrman and Sanders, the apocalyptic vision was the core of Jesus ' teaching ) which warned of " the wrath to come ," as " the axe is laid to the root of the trees " and those who do not bear " good fruit " are " cut down and thrown into the fire.

His daughter, Penelope Ann Le Patourel, is the wife of Sir William Ehrman.

Forged is a book written by biblical scholar, Bart D. Ehrman which attempts to analyze the historical accuracy of the Christian Bible.

Both conservative Christian scholar Graham Stanton and agnostic Bible scholar Bart Ehrman have asserted that virtually all scholars involved with historical Jesus research believe his existence can be established using documentary and other evidence ; however, scholars such as Paula Fredriksen, Robert Funk and E. P. Sanders hold that much of the material about him in the New Testament should not be taken at face value as it is driven by theological agendas.

Robert Funk and Crossan represent this view, one that Eddy and Boyd write is increasingly common among New Testament scholars, particularly those associated with the Westar Institute's Jesus Seminar and Jewish New Testament scholars such as Paula Fredriksen or Amy-Jill Levine. Within this camp there remains a significant gulf between those who hold Schweitzer's view that Jesus had apocalyptic end-time beliefs such as Bart Ehrman and Paula Fredriksen, and those who do not hold this such as Marcus Borg.

According to Ehrman, the Book of Acts tells a different story of Paul's career, but in this case it reports that, while there were " some " Jews converted during Paul's initial preaching in Thessalonica, the gentiles who were converted were " a large number " and the Jews as a body fiercely opposed Paul's work there.

Ehrman says that this raises questions about the authenticity of the dialogue, the meaning of the words, and, therefore, the use of the phrase.

Bart Ehrman suggests in his book Misquoting Jesus that the King James Version would not have included the passage if Desiderius Erasmus had not given in to pressure to include it in the Textus Receptus even though he doubted its authenticity.
