Understanding 9/11Bart Ehrman - The History of the Bible: The Making of the New Testament Canon
Audio With External Links Item Preview
The New Testament stands unchallenged, in the words of Professor Bart D. Ehrman, not only as the ââbestsellerâ of all time,â but also as the most important âbookââ¬âor collection of booksââ¬âin the history of Western civilization.â
Yet how many of us, Christian or otherwise, are as knowledgeable about the New Testament as we would like to be? Even many who consider themselves Christian find themselves asking someââ¬âperhaps even allââ¬âof the questions so often posed by those who are not.
What different kinds of books are in the New Testament? When, how, and why were they written? What do they teach? Who actually wrote them? How were they passed forward through history? And, perhaps most important of all, why and how did some books, and not others, come to be collected into what Christians came to consider the canon of Scripture that would define their belief for all time?
In The History of the Bible: The Making of the New Testament Canon, Professor Ehrman offers a fast-moving yet thorough introduction to these and other key issues in the development of Christianity.

Subject: One question
Subject: One question
I'm currently listening to the talk.
One question arised that I hope can be clarified by someone else maybe?
In the fourth lecture he talks about pauls churches being organized "charismatic" opposed to the hierachical structure of the churches adressed in the pastoral epistles, which he sees as indicator, that the letters are not authentic.
But then he goes on, that opposed to Pauls letters, the author of the pastoral epistles demanded for women to be silent and obedient.
Whereas in Pauls churches there should have been women as leaders (decans and missionaries) which is evident in the letters to the romans.
Now I am confused, because first he claims, there where no leaders in pauls churches, then he explains, women where leaders in churches (and he also names specific positions). Can anyone solve this?! Did I get something wrong? I'd be thankful for explanations.
