This debate between Ehrman vs White was very interesting. They both have study the same data but have polar opposite’s views on it. One sees the ends off faith and the other its very foundation.

At one point Pence even asked, " Did you work on that one a long time? Cause that had a lot of really creative lines in it." They both used lots of personal examples throughout the debate. For
