This book is a must have for any honest seeker looking for truth on the preservation of Biblical text. Ehrman presents the facts in an orderly fashion, conveying them clearly such that any layperson can understand. I enjoyed this book very much, and it helped to paint a wonderful picture of how Scripture was birthed, the attempts made to both preserve it and alter it, and how it has evolved to present day. It is facinating, and to quote Ehrman, "...there are more differences among our manuscripts than there are words in the New Testament."
