Here's that clip from the Colbert Report I mentioned in my sermon yesterday...watch it all the way through--the end is the best part. Keep in mind that Colbert's not serious about a good 99.9% of what he says. But, being a devout Catholic, he does manage to get in some great points while not losing the "act".
They were talking specifically about the Crucifixion accounts...but Erhman's book deals with the resurrection accounts too. The same principle holds: There are differences and paradoxes but no contradictions in the bible. The elephant parable was brilliant.

Ehrmans is disingenuous at his very core. He holds himself out as a Christian theologian but in no way does he hold to Christian beliefs. He writes for the popular audience--hence Colbert (who may well have shown Ehrmans up!)--but claims to have the backing of "all good contemporary theologians."
NOT!
