Colbert vs. Ehrman
Stephen Colbert grills the humorless, Resurrection-denying theologian Bart Ehrman. Watch at Hulu.com. (I had to remove the embedded video due to Internet Explorer’s inferiority.)

Absolutely Fabulous! Stephen Colbert is hilarious and intelligent.
I really don’t think it is really fair to call Ehrman a theologian. I doubt he’d ever call himself a theologian. Frankly, I’m kind of tired of the Ehrman bashing I’ve seen lately. I know he’s kind of been asking for it by making provocative theological claims, but he does have some important things to say.
R.O.,
The irony of the “theologian” title is well-noted, along with Ehrman’s own apparent acceptance of it. Seems one can deny the creeds and still receive that honor.
It’s possible to acknowledge that Ehrman may not be wrong 100% of the time while still enjoying the strange spectacle of Stephen Colbert defending orthodoxy on a fake news show.
I have to admit I haven’t read anything of Ehrman’s. I’m tempted to buy his New Testament book. It looks meaty!
