Summary: In the first reading (post published July 14, 2017), Dr. Ehrman answers two questions submitted to him by readers: (1) whether he believes Paul thought Jesus’ body remained in the grave after his resurrection, and (2) how Dr. Ehrman paid for his education. In the second reading (post published July 13, 2014), Dr. Ehrman explains that he was not “trashing the Gospels” when arguing why he did not believe Joseph of Arimathea buried Jesus following Jesus’ crucifixion.
