Started Reading "Lost Christianities" by Bart Ehrman...
I didn't expect it to be so funny!!
I've had (literal) laugh out loud moments (in public too!)
Very very interesting. And I can see now how it builds on works like "Jesus interrupted" - the revelation about the last 12 verses of Mark / Jesus being Angry / The Woman Caught in Adultery - is just scratching the surface of the complexity in the world of beliefs prior to the New Testament actually being written.
This book is utterly fascinating.

Bart Ehrman is most certainly my favorite bible scholar
I had a literalist sister in law once, and she only had to watch about half an hour of his lectures to give THAT up.
