Bart D. Ehrman grew up in a Christian household and became a born-again Christian in high school, inspired by his youth leader Bruce. He attended Moody Bible Institute and Wheaton College with the goal of becoming an evangelical scholar. However, during his studies he began questioning the reliability of scripture translations. After graduating from Princeton Theological Seminary, he realized that many small variations in early Christian manuscripts were introduced either accidentally or intentionally by scribes, challenging the inerrancy of the biblical texts over time.

Pauline Evangelism Session 7: Paul and the Historical Jesus
This is the seventh session's Power Point slide show from the 'Using Pauline Studies for Evangelism' course taught at the Light Project, Chester.
More than two billion people on the planet identify as christian
Paula Freidriksen's book Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews is an interpretive history that aims to study Jesus based on the available historical evidence from his time. As an interpretive history, it makes judgments about Jesus based on critically analyzing this evidence. The challenges of studying a figure like Jesus are that he left no writings of his own and there are few accounts from people who knew him when he was alive. The author uses over a dozen sources to craft her study and places Jesus in the context of Jewish religious life in Roman antiquity to better understand him.

Paul of tarsus connecting the dots
Paul of Tarsus was an early Christian missionary who helped expand Christianity. He played a key role in connecting Christianity to Gentiles rather than just Jews, which greatly increased the number of believers. His missionary work led to changes in how Christians viewed themselves and expressed their faith, such as replacing circumcision with baptism. Paul revitalized Christianity through his evangelization of non-Jews.
European religions
The document summarizes and compares the three major monotheistic religions in Europe: Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. All three believe in one God. They acknowledge Abraham as their patriarch but have different holy books, places of worship, views of Jesus Christ, and some shared and unique holy sites. The goal is for students to understand the monotheistic nature of these religions and aspects they have in common as well as differences in their beliefs and traditions.
Religions of Europe Study Power Point
The document provides information about the three major monotheistic religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

Key details are provided about the origins and tenets of each faith.
Christianity Significant Person - Paul of Tarsus
Paul of Tarsus made significant contributions to the development, expression, and impact of Christianity. He helped spread Christianity beyond Jerusalem through missionary work, establishing communities across Asia Minor and Europe. Paul also contributed influential epistles that became sacred texts defining Christian beliefs like the death and resurrection of Jesus, salvation through faith, and ethics of love. Additionally, Paul played a key role at the Council of Jerusalem which allowed Gentiles to join the Christian faith without adopting Jewish practices, aiding rapid expansion. Through his efforts, Christianity developed into a distinct religion with global reach rather than a small Jewish sect.
Judaism part 4
The document summarizes the main branches of Judaism. Orthodox Judaism strictly follows Jewish law and traditions. Reform Judaism is more progressive, with services in both Hebrew and English and optional practices. Conservative Judaism embraces some modern practices but recommends belief in God. Hassidic Judaism is an ultra-Orthodox sect. The Renewal Movement is a counter-cultural progressive group. According to surveys, 37% of Jews are Reform, 17% Conservative, and 9% Orthodox.
Apologetics Part 1
1. Why do apologetics?, 2. How to do apologetics, 3. Why can I trust the Bible? 4. Is Jesus the Messiah of the OT? 5. Modern/Postmodern Objections.
Many Infallible Proofs
1. The document discusses 12 historical facts accepted by modern biblical scholars about Jesus' death, burial, and reported resurrection appearances that demand an explanation.
2. It reviews failed 19th century "naturalistic explanations" from German rationalists for these facts, such as fraud, hallucination, and myth theories.
3. The document argues that the conservative explanation of a literal, physical resurrection of Jesus from the dead is the only one that fits with the historical facts and has withstood criticism, and that Jesus is truly alive today.
Atheist vs christian lifestyle
The document summarizes key points from Storey Hickman's research project comparing the lifestyles of atheists and Christians. It discusses Francis Collins' book describing his conversion from atheism to Christianity while staying true to science. It also summarizes interviews with an atheist student and key differences in how atheists and Christians approach raising children and exploring different beliefs.

Sir Isaac newton: Muslim mystic
Isaac Newton rejected the Trinity and believed that worshipping Christ as God was idolatry. He was influenced by his readings of the Quran and works by Arian and Socinian thinkers. Newton likely believed that the Quran and these other non-Trinitarian sources provided a more logically consistent argument against the concept of the Trinity compared to a single God. He was also interested in alchemy and may have been inspired to study it based on references to turning metals into gold found in the Quran and works of Muslim philosophers.
Burning Books
Many groups and governments throughout history have engaged in book burning to destroy ideas or cultures they opposed, including:
- In 213 BC, China's Qin dynasty burned all Confucian books except for one copy kept in the state library to consolidate power and eliminate opposing ideas.
- The Romans under Tiberius enacted policies to burn books and execute authors. Giordono Bruno and Lucilio Vanini were burned at the stake along with their works in 1600 and 1619.
- Missionaries destroying almost all indigenous books in an effort to Christianize Native Americans in the New World.
- The Nazis burning books in Germany to remove "un-German" thoughts from the country.

View of reality expressed in the abrahamic religions
Zoroastrianism is an ancient Iranian religion founded by Zoroaster. It has around 2.6 million followers. Zoroastrians believe in one supreme god, Ahura Mazda, and that people should perform good deeds to achieve happiness. They use fire and water in important rituals, with fire representing spiritual insight and water representing wisdom. While there are some differences between Zoroastrianism and other major religions like Christianity and Judaism, they share many core beliefs around judgment after death, creation myths, and the roles of good and evil forces.
INT-460 Worldviews in Western Civlization
Critical social theory has emerged as the newest worldview developing in the West. It builds upon postmodernism and seeks to expose and dismantle oppressive power structures in society through analyzing language, culture, and institutions from the perspectives of marginalized groups. Critical theorists draw from Marxism, psychoanalysis, and other fields to critique prevailing assumptions and promote social justice for the oppressed. Examples of critical theory in current issues include indigenous people's day, debates over children's literature, and the removal of controversial monuments.

In his book, Robert Baird describes his perspective on the American religion in Europe. He views Evangelical churches in the U.S. as focusing only on Christianity, which is the most common religion practiced in the country. Baird describes Evangelicalism as a religion of the heart rather than the head. He presents Evangelicals as the "good guys" and others like Native Americans, Mormons, and Christian Scientists as the "bad guys" due to differing beliefs. The 1965 Immigration Act opened doors for Asian, Latin American, and other immigrants, bringing new religions to America over time which became Americanized through influences like Sunday school.
Shimmyo
The document discusses Sun Myung Moon's view of the Bible and its authority. It makes three key points:
1) Moon acknowledged the Bible's authority but did not view it as inerrant. He saw the Bible as containing God's eternal truth, while its expression through human language could contain errors or limitations.
2) Moon believed interpreting the Bible was important to find the eternal truths behind its words. His interpretation of the Bible formed the basis of his Divine Principle teachings.
3) Moon's view is similar to some Christian traditions that distinguish between the Bible's content (God's truth) and its form of expression, rather than viewing the Bible itself as inerrant in every detail. This
Understanding the bible through koranic messages
This document provides an overview and summary of the Bible and Quran from an Islamic perspective. It discusses how Abraham is seen as the common patriarch of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam which together have over 2.5 billion followers worldwide. The document also summarizes the lineage of Abraham's sons Ishmael and Isaac, noting that Ishmael is considered the ancestor of Arabs and Isaac the ancestor of Jews, establishing them as the three children of Abraham who share monotheistic traditions.
7. sacred scriptures
The document discusses several key aspects of scripture:
1. It defines inspiration as the Holy Spirit moving human authors to write what God intended without taking away their free will.
2. It states that while the Bible contains no errors in matters of faith and morals, it is not inerrant on scientific or historical details as the authors wrote from their limited knowledge.
3. It explains canonicity as the Church's recognition of books as divinely inspired and suitable to teach faith and morals, based on standards like apostolic origin, coherence with Gospel message, and use in liturgy. Books that fail these standards are considered apocryphal.

Cross reference
This document discusses Charles Whisnant's method of studying the Bible since 1982. It lists various books and tools he has used for Bible study, including commentaries, concordances, and study Bibles. It provides examples of how to use cross-references when studying a passage, such as looking at related concepts and words in other parts of the Bible. The document emphasizes allowing Scripture to interpret itself using cross-references and considering the context of the passage and book.
Understanding The Bible Part One The Canons Of The Bible
The first in a six-part series examining how to understand the Bible using the historical-critical method. The subject of Part One is the Canons of the Old and New Testament, how they were decided, and the difference between the Catholic and Protestant canons.
Historical Jjesus, Who is t he Real Jesus?
Let us vote on each of the sayings on Jesus, a red bead for each truly authentic saying of Jesus, a pink bead when the saying sure sounds like Jesus, gray, maybe, a black bead for a saying Jesus could not have said, although centuries of biblical scholars thought and taught otherwise.
Using this voting method, the self-appointed members of the Jesus Seminar in 1985 pronounced that only fifteen sayings were truly said by Jesus, while another seventy-five sayings were probably words of Jesus. There were a few eminent scholars in the group, most were middling academics, none were from the most eminent theological universities. But it was great television, great headlines, great press, controversial conspiracies, grabbing ten minutes of fame for this or that ignorant expert.
The original attendees of the Jesus Seminar have mostly been forgotten, with only a spare mention by Dr Wikipedia, but unfortunately the historical Jesus baton was passed to Bart Ehrman, one of the foremost textual critics of the New Testament, which means his specialty is examining the ancient Greek manuscript texts for variants. Dr Timothy Johnson wrote a book disputing the claims of the historical Jesus, The Real Jesus, which will be our main source. This book first looks back to the history of the church since the Reformation, and in the United States since World War II and the GI Bill, to understand how such beliefs can become widespread.
In addition to Professor Johnson's book, The Real Jesus, we will be consulting other works. If you wish to purchase these books, these links will help support our channel with a small affiliate commission:

Origins of the bible
The Bible has origins spanning over 1,600 years and involving contributions from at least 40 authors. The Old Testament texts were composed between 1400 BC and 450 BC, eventually being bound together and recognized as sacred texts. The New Testament texts were written between 40 AD and 90 AD by men who knew Jesus. The Bible has been translated and adapted over centuries in various languages and versions, with the King James Bible finalized in 1609 becoming one of the most popular versions today.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
