Picking up where Bible expert Bart Ehrman's New York Times bestseller Misquoting Jesus left off, Jesus, Interrupted addresses the larger issue of what the New Testament actually teaches—& it's not what most people think. Here Ehrman reveals what scholars have unearthed: •The authors of the New Testament have diverging views about who Jesus was & how salvation works •The New Testament contains books that were forged in the names of the apostles by Christian writers who lived decades later •Jesus, Paul, Matthew & John all represented fundamentally different religions •Established Christian doctrines—such as the suffering messiah, the divinity of Jesus & the trinity—were the inventions of still later theologians These aren't idiosyncratic perspectives of just one scholar. They've been the standard widespread views of scholars across a full spectrum of denominations & traditions. Why is it most people have never heard such things? This is the book that pastors, educators & anyone interested in the Bible have been waiting for—a compelling account of the central challenges faced when attempting to reconstruct Jesus' life & message.

In this groundbreaking work, renowned scholar Philip Jenkins reveals a lost history, showing that for centuries, Christianity's center was in the Middle East, Asia, and Africa, with communities extending to China. The book uncovers a vast network of influential Christian churches that thrived east of the Roman Empire, where their leaders played key roles in the Middle East and became prominent figures in the emerging Muslim empire. Jenkins recounts the shocking decline of these churches, which had the closest ties to Jesus and the early church. He challenges the prevailing view that alternative Christianities vanished in the fourth and fifth centuries due to a new hierarchy under Constantine that sought to eliminate unorthodox beliefs. Instead, Jenkins argues that the largest churches, often labeled as “heretics,” were the most influential Christian groups in Asia, maintaining their significance for an additional thousand years beyond their supposed extinction. This exploration provides a fresh perspective on contemporary issues in the Middle East, Asia, and Africa. Understanding this lost history is crucial for grasping our collective religious past and recognizing the surprising revitalizations of Christianity today, reaffirming its status as a true world religion.
