Book Reviews of Misquoting Jesus: The Story Behind Who Changed the Bible and Why (Plus)
Book Review: "666 Is Not The Number Of The Beast".
Summary: 5 Stars
Having been an ardent Bible scholar since Sunday school days, I had no idea how the Bible was made available in the pyparus era & now, why different versions appear and how accurate these translations are? Professor Bart D. Ehrman answers these questions systematically & more : how the Scriptures get changed, added or edited and sometimes, professor Bart D. Ehrman explains even mistakes (human error) does even occur.These can explain e.g.why the original book of Mark ends with an empty tomb & scribes later added Mark 16:9-20. It is also revealing that the general held view of number 666 as the number of the beast (Devil/Satan) is incorrect. The correct number is actually 616 and refers to the then presiding Roman Empire at the time of writing of the gospel book of "Revelation"! This is an excellent book for all Bible scholars to understand what one is eventually & actually studying! A highly recommended reading!
