Stephen Colbert Meets New Testament Scholarship

Stephen Colbert, host of Comedy Central's "Colbert Report" is said to be a devout Roman Catholic. When I watch his interviews with Elaine Pagels and Bart Ehrman, it looks to me like he's not so sure they've got it right.

Here's his interview with Elaine Pagels, co-author (with Karen L. King) of Reading Judas: The Gospel of Judas and the Shaping of Christianity (New York: Viking, 2007). Hekman Library users can find the book at BS2860 .J832 P34 2007.



Here's his interview with Bart Ehrman, author of Misquoting Jesus: The Story Behind Who Changed the Bible and Why (New York: Harper, 2005). Hekman Library BS2325 .E45 2005.
