Add these to the stack

The two newest additions to my library are both by Bart Erhman: Misquoting Jesus and The Lost Gospel of Judas Iscariot. I picked them up at Smyrna Public Library for a buck apiece. Gotta love the book sale table!

I'm reading Harry Emerson Fosdick's autobiography, The Living of These Days, now. When finished I may work up a little review of it. I'm eager to read Erhman (especially Misquoting Jesus). Note this blurb from the jacket: "In Misquoting Jesus, Ehrman tells the story behind the mistakes and changes that ancient scribes made to the New Testament and shows the great impact they had upon the Bible we use today. He frames his account with personal reflections on how his study of the Greek manuscripts made him abandon his once ultraconservative views of the Bible." If that blurb won't sell a book, nothing will. I'm expecting a lively and engaging read.

In other news, I heard something about the World Series. What's a World Series? I haven't followed baseball since the strike. Humpph... Now, back to my coffee, which I'll be drinking from a blue enameled cup (that one's for you, Mark Manry). :)
