Bart D. Ehrman

Bart D. Ehrman is, to me, a model of intellectual honesty. Born in Lawrence, Kansas, schooled at Wheaton as a devout believer, he let rigorous study of New Testament manuscripts reshape his own convictions rather than protecting them. Re-examining the things you were raised to hold sacred, in full public view, takes real courage, and the 2018 Guggenheim Fellowship feels well earned. What I value most is his gift for making dense textual criticism legible to ordinary readers without dumbing it down. Whatever one believes, I respect a scholar who simply keeps following the evidence and refuses to stop thinking.
