''' Misquoting Jesus: The Story Behind Who Changed the Bible and Why''' is a book written by [[Bart Ehrman ]] that deals with alleged errors in transcription and translation that occurred from the time of [[Jesus]] to the time the [[King James Bible|King James version]] of the New Testament was finalized in 1611.
Ehrman argues the case that the New Testament is not the true word of God because of the magnitude of these errors. One of his arguments is that since Jesus spoke Aramaic, which was later translated into Greek in the original gospels, some of which was then translated into Latin and then back to Greek before [[Eramus]]' copy was translated into [[English]] as the [[King James Version]], the [[New Testament|New Testament's]] integrity has been compromised by excessive translation.
Ehrman also argues that since the New Testament was maintained for over a thousand years solely by making handwritten copies of copies, errors and inconsistencies between different manuscripts were common. Since the earliest manuscripts available to modern scholars are from the 4th or 5th century AD, Ehrman argues that it is very difficult to discern the original content.
