Misquoting Jesus: The Story Behind Who Changed the Bible and WhyWhen consulting the New Testament, most people today assume they are reading the very words that Jesus spoke or St. Paul wrote.

When consulting the New Testament, most people today assume they are reading the very words that Jesus spoke or St. Paul wrote. And yet, for almost 1,500 years manuscripts were copied by hand by scribes -- often untrained -- who were deeply influenced by the theological and political disputes of their day. Mistakes and intentional changes continue to plague biblical scholars, who must determine which words, phrases, or stories are the most likely to be accurate.

In Misquoting Jesus, author Bart D. Ehrman presents the fascinating history of where and why changes were made in our earliest surviving biblical manuscripts. These changes continue to have a dramatic impact on widely-held beliefs concerning the divinity of Jesus, the Trinity, and the divine origins of the Bible itself.

For the first time, leading Bible scholar Ehrman reveals the many early variations of our cherished biblical stories and discusses why only certain versions of those stories qualify for publication in the Bibles we read today.

Bart D. Ehrman chairs the department of religious studies at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. A leading authority on the early Church and the life of Jesus, he is the author of twenty books and lives in Durham, N.C.

" Ehrman's] absorbing story, fresh and lively prose, and seasoned insights into the challenges of recreating the texts of the New Testament ensure that readers might never read the Gospels or Paul's letters the same way again." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)--Philadelphia Inquirer

Good for sensitive skin, zero fragrance, leaves skin soft and moisturized!
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I got this to go along with my Vanicream sensitive skin cleanser, and I'm very happy with it! It is a little more liquidy than cream-like, but it absorbs into skin well and leaves it feeling soft and moisturized. Great for sensitive skin and completely free of fragrance, with a shorter ingredient list that gives me more peace of mind. Very pleased with this, try it!

Great Value for a Good Moisturizer (5- Stars)
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This moisturizer contains nothing fancy — and that’s the whole point. The ingredients are few but effective, with several ceramides and hyaluronic acid for deep and long-lasting hydration. Best of all, it contains no silicones or parabens. Because it’s noncomedogenic, it doesn’t cause breakouts from clogged pores. Since I have sensitive skin, all of the above are critical for my skin care routine. It’s about as simple and as effective as a cream can get. Because of that, it doesn’t contains any sunscreen, retinol, or other anti-wrinkle components.

Excellent facial moisturizer

Very gentle, lightweight, absorbs well without feeling greasy or heavy. Perfect to use after Fraxel laser treatment. I also like it is fragrance free and really good on sensitive skin.

Highly recommend! But still irritates sensitive skin
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Exceeded my expectations! Lightweight, yet has a bit of occlusiveness (which I needed)! Hydrates my skin really well! Like the subtle smell of it also! It tried other popular ones (with almost no occlusive components) as La roche and ordinry, but they were too dry for me. I needed the moisture to be locked in plus restore my skin barrier also. So so far vanicream was so good! My skin type: dry, sensitive, highly irritating. Ps I would have to try another brand after finishing this one. Irritates my skin. It’s not for sensitive skin, unfortunately

Inexpensive and Effective
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve struggled with dry sensitive skin and eczema my entire life and this is now my ride or die facial moisturizer. It’s so much less expensive than luxury brands that I have tried and works better. It absorbs so well, leaves no residue, and a small amount goes a long way. I will say, if you have an active eczema flare it can sting a tiiiiny bit but that’s an eczema thing. It causes zero irritation or inflammation there’s just some sensation as it goes on. Vanicream as a brand in general is soooo eczema friendly. Life changing.
