Nathan:

Glad you have the open mind you espouse. The distinction between devotional reading and historical reading is Ehrman's not mine. It is how he opened the book. As for "more of the same," he retells his journey story and says himself he is not saying anything new. No invective here, just description of what he himself presents and says. Same is true of his move, which he narrates. The issues he raises have all been dealth with, although you'd never know it from what he writes. So just a short note to say that before you make a judgment, check out the details.
