| 520 | _aExamining over fifty examples of early Christian forgery and their polemical contexts, Ehrman uncovers the varied motives that prompted ancient Christian authors intentionally to deceive their readers. The sheer magnitude of early Christian forgery startles the modern readers. Ehrman demolishes the clain that forgery was an acceptable literary practice in Greco-Roman antiquity, as well as scholars' attemps to 'explain away' its prevalence in early Christianity. | ||
