I'll restate.
If the OP cares to have a discussion on the merits (read: criticize) of Mr. Ehrman's work (which, by his own admission, he is not that familiar with), it is my position that he ought to go educate his fucking self rather than ask others to do his reading and summarizing for him.
It is hardly reasonable to criticize written work one has not read, and is not familiar with, and it is particularly unreasonable to ask another to read and summarize it for one who is apparently disinterested enough to do so himself, and yet, somehow, has enough interest to criticize.
In other words: one should do one's own fucking homework.
