On Air Debate with Bart Ehrman about the book Forged (Aug 6 revised) Podcast Now Posted
Yesterday (July 21) I taped an hour with Bart Ehrman and his book Forged. It was for a UK Christian radio show called Unbelievable with Justin Brierley. The show airs Saturday in the UK, July 30 (Now revised to Aug 6). Now it will not be available in the USA over the air, but a podcast is possible after the UK broadcast date.

We covered pseudepigraphy in general, the book of 1 and 2 Peter, 2 Thessalonians, Ephesians, the roles of secretaries and ancient literacy. As with all such "live" event, you think of things to have raised afterwards. For the most part, though, I was happy with the effort and the moderator was really good and fair to both of us.

Information on the show will be up next week, I think. It also will be available at the bottom of the web page for a while. The show and a free subscription to it is available on iTunes Podcasts at the iTunes Store under audio podcasts. Just be sure to get the right host with the title.
On another front, we are preparing to end our Sabbatical in Germany. We leave the country next week. I have to speak in London the second week of August. Then I head home. Postings may become few and far between as I travel.

Can’t find your debate with Bart Ehrman
Hi Darrel,
Have been following your review of Forged so was quite keen to listen to your debate with Mr Ehrman. However, I'm not sure where to look for it on the website you posted. I've been on the Premier/ Unbelievable website and done a keyword search for the debate but I can't find it. Would you be able to point me in the right direction please?
Thanks much for your posts and ongoing contributions. It's a privilege and a blessing.
Best,
Peter Rufus

Peter: It does not air until Saturday, July 30, so it will not post on the web site or as a podcast until then. [This has now been updated for broadcast on Aug 6, not July 30]

On Air Debate
I am very much looking forward to listening to this debate. Thank you for all the hard research work you have done over the years. God has used it to prepare you for such a time as this.
I have listened to one other "debate" (Brian McLaren vs. James White) on the Unbelievable Program. I found your statement "…the moderator was really good and fair to both of us." to be true for that debate too.
