Who is Bart Ehrman (that scholar that Muslims like so much)?

 WHO IS BARTH EHRMAN?

In my conversations with Muslims, I found many times how they quote Ehrman as he said exactly what they want to hear to proof their Islamic religion against Jesus Christ as our only Saviour and degrade the Bible as a "corrupt" book. Therefore it's necessary to look into his story...

According to GOOGLE, he is "an American New Testament scholar focusing on textual criticism of the New Testament, the historical Jesus, and the origins and development of early Christianity. He has written and edited 30 books etc..."

After listening to some of his presentations, I experienced that his conclusions is mostly very provocative against the Christian faith.

Take note: he is definitely not a Christian only because his topics cover the New Testament (he himself can't decide if he is an agnostic or an atheist).

According to my he is only a very confused Bible scholar that became very popular among like minded people that left the Christian faith behind and now look for any person to provide information to confirm and support their mostly atheistic viewpoints.

Ehrman said: "Jesus was not mentioned by anybody in the entire first century..."

Is this true or a blatant lie? What about the many reports of Jesus' crucifixion? (see the picture).

• Flavius Josephus was born ad 37/38 in Jerusalem and died ad 100 in Rome. 
• Cornelius Tacitus  (AD 56 – c. 120) was a Roman historian and politician

As I am for many years now busy with Muslim Evangelism I saw many times how they quote Ehrman as he said exactly what they want to hear to proof their Islamic religion against Jesus Christ as our only Saviour and degrade the Bible as a "corrupt" book.

I think Ehrman is tremendously used by Satan to attack the Christian faith and the Good News of Jesus Christ.

I read somewhere... "Often atheists like to quote atheist and liberal scholar, Bart Ehrman in an attempt to say Jesus never existed." 

Why not also quote Ehrman's professor at Princetown - Bruce Metzger - more often " Today no competent scholar denies the historicity of Jesus"

Therefore I was so glad to discover this very useful Blog "Ehrman Project" (https://ehrmanproject.com/) where numerous Christian Biblical scholars, who profoundly disagree with his findings, make it their goal to provide responses to Dr Ehrman's mostly provocative statements about the Christian faith.

One example is his claim that the Bible Manuscripts have "thousands" of errors and can therefore not be trusted - see a response in the video at the following link https://youtu.be/EicA4gik6FI
