Lost Christianities: The Battles for Scripture and the Faiths We Never Knew by Bart D. Ehrman

5.0

Even though I was expecting less analysis of texts and more detailed discussion of the theologies of the various early Christian groups, I should have known better. I know what Ehrman's expertise is in, and I really should have known he was going to tell this story though the manuscripts. And regardless, it was an incredibly informative book that I think does a good job of telling the story in an accessible and objective tone. Not that he doesn't make his own opinions clear, but he's not disdainful of those that disagree, and I appreciate his respect for other arguments on this topic.
