UNC Chapel Hill Professor of Religion Bart Ehrman — an agnostic — seems to have made it his goal in life to mock religious belief. What’s more, he seems quite happy to live in his academic ivory tower. Take his elitist comment about a Christian project to answer his views. (emphasis is mine)
The website’s scholars, professors at conservative evangelical schools such as Asbury Theological Seminary and Dallas Theological Seminary, maintain that the Bible is reliable and that the changes made by scribes over the years are trivial.
But, Ehrman contends, their views do not represent the consensus among scholars using historians’ techniques to analyze ancient texts.
“Look at their credentials,” said Ehrman, 55. “None of them teaches at state universities, Ivy League schools, or prominent four-year liberal arts colleges,” he said. “People with those views would never get a job at UNC.”
