Misquoting Jesus: The Story Behind Who Changed the Bible and Why by Bart D. Ehrman

Misquoting Jesus by Bart D. Ehrman introduces the study of differences among New Testament manuscripts. He examines accidental and deliberate changes made during hand-copying and considers their implications for interpretation.

Published by HarperOne, it combines textual criticism with reflections on how manuscript study affected his own beliefs. The book presents Ehrman’s arguments for readers interested in biblical history rather than a devotional retelling of Jesus’s life.
