Jesus Interrupted by Bart D. Ehrman
professor Ehrman was a scholar who set out to prove the Bible to be literally true. First he graduated from Moody Bible School. Then he went to Harvard to study the three ancient languages used in writing the Bible. He ended up find too many errors and inconsistency to be true.
He points out all of the errors and mistakes made every time it was copied. Until the printing press was invented every copy was different than the one copied. He has found more errors in today’s Bible than there are words.
After setting out to prove the inerrancy, he did the opposite. Now he is a nonbeliever after his research.
I suggest you read some of his works.
I was a Secular Humanist long before I read his books. I put Humans before Gods and find most religions very too authoritarian for me to buy into. I’m more into a free and independent search for the truth.
