Did anyone see Jon Stewart’s interview last night with Bart Ehrman, author of Misquoting Jesus? Quite interesting fellow, who’s experience I can relate to in some ways. Here’s a neutral news article that gives some background, and a critical book review.
Washington Post article:

"Bart was, like a lot of people who were converted to fundamental evangelicalism, converted to the certainty of it all, of having all the answers," says Dale Martin, Woolsey Professor of Religious Studies at Yale University, and a friend of three decades. "When he found out they were lying to him, he just didn't want anything to do with it.”
