Review title: should be sent by the truckload to... Product review: ...Christian churches across America, especially the wacko fundamentalist ones!As a longtime student of religion, I have been familiar with the textual unreliability of the New Testament (the Old Testament has it too but not anywhere as egregiously) since my undergraduate days.The sad sad fact though is that in the vast majority of grass-roots Christian churches in America today, the Bible is still all too often taught as if it came directly from the mouth of God and straight to the printing presses. This has only caused untold human tragedy and suffering, to Christians and non-Christians alike, most of which is dangerously irreversible.Bart Ehrman has written a very accessible analysis and compilation of bloopers and blunders that dot what we call the New Testament. Maybe a CliffNotes version will come out soon for all the ADD victims who need it most.
