Interesting textual criticism for the layman of the New Testament.
He describes a book (bible) in which the extant manuscripts are rife with contradiction and discrepancy. He explains that this is partially due to errors and intentional alterations made by the scribes. He devotes some time to describing the process of creating books before the invention of the printing press. Mr. Ehrman loosely correlates some of the contradictions and discrepancies found in the bible to social, cultural and political issues of the day.
