Dr. Bock,
I very much look forward to reading your comments on this book. I heard it advertised on NPR, so I looked it up on Amazon.com. When I saw it was written by Dr. Ehrman, I knew it would contribute nothing new to what is already known about the Bible. He is an avowed critic of supernaturalism, and therefore his book will simply recycle old arguments to support his view. More of the same.
Nonetheless, I'm glad there are responsible scholars out there, such as yourself, who can interact with this material on a peer level. The ideas circulating in academia eventually filter down to lay people, and Christians need to know how to respond to these claims in everyday conversation.
All the best,
Stephen
