Can You Have Christian Ethics Without Christianity? A Response to Bart Ehrman

During this Easter season, New Testament scholar and skeptic Bart Ehrman has been making headlines again. He just released his latest book Love Thy Stranger: How the Teachings of Jesus Transformed the Moral Conscience of the West . Last week, New York Times columnist Ross Douthat interviewed Ehrman on his podcast about his book and why he doesn't believe in God. Sarah Eekhoff Zylstra sat down with New Testament scholar Michael J. Kruger, one of Ehrman's former students, to talk about Ehrman's arguments. Kruger has found that, unlike Ehrman, his own study of biblical manuscripts has strengthened his faith. Resources Mentioned: Surviving Religion 101 by Michael J.
