If you want to use Ehrman's material in an argument against Christians they'll just tell you what I've told you - it's not of academic standard, the stuff he waffles on about in his popular books is either inconsequential to faith or is outside his particular area of expertise. And again, that's not "my criticism" it's distilled from the criticism he has received from his fellow critical scholars regarding his books such as "Forged". And again, none one else in the world - not a single other scholar that I know of claims the NT underwent systemic alteration; which is a claim made wholesale by Bart and he can't even tell you what he thinks was altered in particular.
This paragraph is just false:

Did Jesus get "angry" or did he have "compassion"? Big difference, if you ask me!
