Bart D. Ehrman is a New Testament scholar, textual critic, and an expert on early Christianity. He attempts to discern the original wording of the gospels, epistles, and other ancient texts. His research demonstrates that early Christians altered the Biblical texts in order to make them more uniform and bring them into conformity with changing beliefs.
Ehrman now considers himself an agnostic. He appeared on The Colbert Report, as well as The Daily Show, in 2006 to promote his book Misquoting Jesus and was jokingly called an "atheist without balls" (alluding to his agnosticism) on national television by Stephen Colbert.
Several of his books have appeared in audio-book form and he has made a series of audio-lectures for The Teaching Company, hence his appearance on Last.fm.
