View source for Bart Ehrman

'''Bart D. Ehrman''' (born 5 October 1955) is an [[agnostic]] (former Evangelical) Bible scholar and writer who writes about [[Christianity]].

Notwithstanding his religious views, he is highly critical of the "scholarship" used by the liberal [[Jesus Seminar]].

== Resurrection debate ==
On March 28, 2006, Bart Erhman debated Christian apologist [[William Lane Craig]] at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts. The topic was, ''Is there Historical Evidence for the Resurrection of Jesus?'' Dr. Ehrman's main problem was that he would not accept the possibility of God intervening in the physical world to Resurrect Jesus. He argued that a miracle would be extremely unlikely and did not understand Craig's rebuttal to this argument, based on Bayes' Theorem.

== Existence of the Historical Jesus ==
Even though he is not a Christian, Dr. Ehrman has been active in fighting against people who think [[Jesus]] never even existed as a Historical Figure. In one radio interview with ''The Infidel Guy'', Dr. Ehrman gave overwhelming evidence for the existence of Jesus, very much to the disappointment and irritation of the [[atheist]] talk host. In 2012, Ehrman published his book, ''Did Jesus Exist?'' in which he vigorously fights people who think that Jesus never existed and that nearly all serious and professional Scholars and Historians accept the Existence of the Historical Jesus.
